Thanks, Johnny for the poster, and Susan for the compliment!

Sam,
I love your quote from whichever of those glamour girls said it. Sometimes people say to me, "You sure don't have many wrinkles." But nobody has told me, at least not for a long time, that I look skinny.
My number of TOTV posts passed my poundage awhile back, but if it does not warm up here soon so I stop hibernating and sitting at this computer, which I stupidly wanted in the kitchen, I might catch up.
I was so hoping that by moving to TV, I would become thin and coordinated like those women on the The Villages ads they run on television.
A restaurant that served all health-friendly food in normal portions would probably never make it anywhere I guess. But I have always wanted someone to open a place where customers could go in and carry out home-cooked entrees that were made with a reasonable nod to health concerns, in portions enough for a couple of meals and a little leftover. That way customers could take the main course home, throw together a salad, and be all set. It would not be necessary to have a lot of employees or square footage. And it would not be necessary to provide anything but a takeout main course. Of course, comfort food would have to be offered, but without being highly processed or really full of fat, sodium, and all that stuff that gets us.
Does anybody know of such a place? I have a couple of relatives who are great cooks and do a little catering. I used to try to talk them into opening a business like this, but I never could convince them. It seems like this kind of thing might do well in a place like TV. -Is there anything like this there?
Oh, btw, I sure don't want to open a such a business. I just want to be a customer.
