Maybe they were too polite to tell you?


Nah..it was family..if they didn't like it they'd say so...vociferously...

Maybe the horrid aftertaste was
disguised by all that jalapeno


SOn't use jalepeno's...there is no horrid aftertaste with Splenda...

Yep, Atkins had at least one thing right... the type of calories makes a
difference.


I had lunch at a place in Miami that the meal had to have weighed at
least 10lbs. on the plate. It was gross. What was worse was just
throwing all that untouched mountain of food away.


A lot of people have also been conditioned to not throw food away. I'm
working on not buying it in the first place... saves money too.
