Eating out with the band is a good thing

I love it!  Doesn't it just amaze you how 'overserved' we are?

We like to eat at Texas Roadhouse -- usually sit in the bar and watch sports when we can.
I like to order the onion blossom because I have a weak spot for the crunchy goodness!!

My husband does not eat onions, so I know that I am being wasteful, because I eat about 1/8 of it, and then make them take it away from me.  I don't take it home because it is a treat and I don't need any more than that (and because it would not re-heat well anyway!)

I then have a cup of chili, or I have the Rib Appetizer and sub a baked sweet potato for the fries and I eat a little bit of that and take home the rest.  I can usually get about 2 more meals at home from that.

I could not eat 6 ounces of steak at gunpoint these days --- it is just too much for me.  So, I would have eaten about 1/2 like you did and eaten some veggies.

I don't do dessert anymore, so the Onion blossom is my dessert --- I just eat it first!!!   LOL

Thin crust Domino's makes a really good specialty pizza that is not too bad calorie wise. I checked it out on MyFitnessPal. I think one slice is like170 calories.

Serving sizes have gotten out of hand just about everywhere. We had some friends visiting Friday night and I was busy making cupcakes for a wedding, so we just ordered Indian take out. We ordered 3 entrees for 4 people plus 1 order of naan. I'm getting an additional 3 lunches out of the leftovers from that meal!
