Today was a fairly decent eating day. I had an Atkins breakfast bar for
breakfast - it was an early, too-fast morning - with coffee and a T of
heavy cream. For lunch, it was a salad with 4 ounces turkey breast, 2
ounces of the cheddar/sundried tomato/pesto cheese and oil and vinegar
dressing. For a snack I had 2 T. sour cream mixed with 1 T. salsa, and
one half serving of flax/soy tortilla chips.
Supper was the winner: 8 ounces scallops sauteed in olive oil with
moroccan spices and curry powder, and 1 cup spinach sauteed in olive oil
and garlic.
Plenty of water, two glasses of diet vanilla coke.
Woo hoo!

I had leftover pot roast for dinner. I cook mine in burgundy wine, put in
carrots and onions and potatoes for the skinny SO toward the end. Then made
gravy with ThicknThin No Starch. I love that stuff, it lets you have so
many of the lovely sauces that flour or corn starch once made possible. I
allow myself one carrot and one small onion, so delicious.

Try adding some cabbage to your pot roast. Then you can have the gravy over
the cabbage!

Nancy,
I love scallops and this sounds delicious. Did you mix your
own spices or did you use an already mixed Moroccan spice?

I used a pre-mix that had seeds and spices only, no sugar. Got it from
a loca provider - sorry...

This evening I ate from Ruby Tuesday's low-carb menu for the first time. I
had a small sirloin steak with bleu cheese, a salad from the salad bar with
bleu cheese dressing, and sides of creamed spinach and mashed cauliflower.
Dessert was low-carb cheesecake. The meal was delicious, although the
service was as bad as the food was good.
I wouldn't eat this again, though, for a couple of reasons.
#1: I'm concerned that although it was low-carb the meal seemed pretty
calorie-dense, and
#2, Although I'm all for free enterprise and businesses making a profit,
the food was outrageously overpriced for that type of restaurant. The meal
I just described came to about $30, while a similar meal at a comparable
restaurant (Applebees for instance) would have been about half that price.
My dinner companions and I agreed that next time we're in that town (Roanoke
Rapids, NC), we'll eat at another restaurant (I've found that it's easy to
order low-carb at most any restaurant), and we'll go to Ruby Tuesdays just
for overpriced albeit delicious low-carb dessert.
