    Dining Out. Could someone advise me on this menu please?

    Hey all... I will be dining out tonight with my best friend (girls away from hubby and kids YAY!!) and she bought us tickets to the House of Blues.

    So, I'm pondering over their menu on what I should eat (being prepared and all so that I don't lose my mind and my induction).

    I was wondering... what would ya'll eat from this menu? http://www.hob.com/venues/clubvenues/dallas/dining.asp

    Any advise and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks guys and gals! You are all my lifesavers!

    PS: Am I right in keeping my carbs really low today - just in case?

    I'd probably get the All Beef Blues Burger with cheese, toss the bun and request a salad or veggies on the side.
    I'd get ranch on the side for the salad and wouldn't get any sauces or creams on the veggies. Also, some resturants here (Abq NM) put honey in the butter for the veggies!! So I'm always careful of that too.

    You'll figure something out... hope you have fun!

          I have found that they put sugar or honey in or on almost everything in restaurants! I thought I was safe getting Applebee's house sirloin, roasted asparagus and veggies (broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash). I hadn't cheated for many months and I hadn't craved or wanted to binge in forever. We had a poor wait person and when the veggies came naked, I asked for butter, but he never brought it. I thought it was odd that the seemingly dry, unseasoned veggies had so much taste, but went ahead and ate them. I went with my brother and his wife and while having a lively conversation, I ate too much. I felt stuffed until my tummy hurt, even though I didn't finish the meal. This was at about 7:00pm. I got home an hour later and shortly, I was starving again. I only had legal foods at home, but I was still stuffing my face at 10:00pm until I just made myself quit.

          I called the restaurant the next day and sure enough, there was sugar in all the veggies AND in the glaze on the grilled steak! I was so mad. It took me days to get my cravings and hunger back under control.

          Sunny!

          People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.
