Olive garden...Not that I know of, yet. Cakes? I LOVE THE BEEF CAKE! also, CLAM CAKES! I am heading north to RI w/ daughter on 6/5-10th. We have plans to bring back frozen clam cakes. pop in oven for 10 minutes to reheat and almost as good as fresh! If I'm making a cake it would be a triple layer double chocolate fudge cake from a box!!

He will gain weight with age Kathie. They mostly all do.

Hi Susan, that is an easy question. If you eat the items standing up there are no calories. If you eat cookie crumbs, cake crumbs and other yummy crumbs there are no calories.

This information comes from an excellent source - Kathy - comic strip. She once did a whole thing on what items have no calories and when.

Brilliant HB. I knew there had to be a way around this calorie issue. :bigthumbsup:

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Susan - one just needs to know where to read what. Kathie has had other brilliant ideas in the past.

The Maxine ones on house keeping are also good. I will see if I still have them and will post them.

Miss ya.

OK, I just wolfed down an entire slab of Kilwin's Vanilla Carmel Fudge while I was reading this. Is there any way I can waddle into this diet support group?
