She would put the the leftover sweet taters in the fridge in the skins...and the next morning...she would slice them up and fry them in butter and we'd have them with eggs and biscuits......my o my o my was that good....sigh. Hugs Charlie

B Bacon/Cheese omelet S apple L Lean Cuisine Garlic Chicken pizza (thin crust) S Kashi bar D roasted turkey, fresh green beans with new potatoes, fried okra (my nana is visiting; cooked up some good old home cooking) S 1 bite pecan pie and 2 bites old fashioned tea cake cookie Exercise: Billy Blanks' cardio boot camp with billy bands Melissa About the sweet potato, they are better for you than white potatoes. Diabetics can have them in moderation. They have lots of antioxidant vitamins with their orange color.

B- Low Sugar Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal, two pieces of toast L- 6 in chicken teriaki sub from subway (at 3/4 of it) D- Soft Taco, made at home with beef, cheese, lettuce, tomoato, onion, sour cream S- nectarine Mmmm.. pecan pie, my favorite!! Can I have a bite? When did you tell me that you and John will be over this way?

We are coming to the coast late Friday afternoon. Are we still planning on doing lunch or dinner on Saturday? Just call me. Melissa

dinner Saturday night sounds great! Call me when you get a chance and we will firm up the time and place. Can't wait to see you! Rhonda

Dinner sounds good. I don't know where to say we want to go. We don't really know what all is there now since Katrina. I am ready for this weekend. We need a get a way for just the two of us. No kids. We deserve it too. We are celebrating 15 years together. Hard to believe we have been married that long. Time flies when you're having fun. Melissa

Restaurants open are : Casino Buffets which give us 1/2 price buffet with our restaurant cards, Outback, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday's (D'Iberville) or most all the restaurants in Gulfport to include a wonderful seafood restaurant on Hwy 49 called Lookout 49, they have Wonderful Amberjack. Congrats on 15 years!! We look forward to seeing you. Where are you staying while you are here? Rhonda

We are staying at the Grand. Lookout 49 sounds good. I love amberjack. Not all restaurants know how to cook it.

thanks for the info on the potatoes..i'll have to try them sometime. sounds like you had some yummy food today! have fun with your nana!

It is hard to eat good when my Nana is in town. But I did not do too bad. I did not have any macaroni and cheese or homemade biscuits. But I did have to have a little fried okra. LOL. Melissa
