restraunt eating

I haven't had much luck eating out. In restaurants, I tried the wings appetizer once, but they were too rubbery and covered in buffalo sauce. My growing teenage son refuses to split with me, so for now I will stick with taco bell. There I can get a side of meat, a side of cheese for less than a dollar. Or the refried beans work and I eat about half of them. Any more ideas? Sher Lo

I love Wendy's! The chilli works great for me and the small has 198 calories and low sugar.

That sounds like my experience at Johnny Carino's. I had this huge plate of ravioli and I was peeling them and eating the ricotta out of them. For my husband and I it was $30 and I left most of mine and he ate maybe half of his. On the other hand, there is a mexican restaurant near our house where we go a lot that lets us order from the kids menu. We ate there for less than $10 the other day. We each got a cheese enchilada and some refried beans. We still tip like we spent $20. I figure it's only fair to the wait person. Caryl
