You're up around Richmond, right?? Here are the search results for that area but it looks like the stores are Foodco, Quickstop or Calla - they're Ralphs here in So Cal...

This is my first time posting. Wednesday marks my 3rd day back to low carb--trying to lose those holiday pounds. I'm planning on doing "induction" for one week, and will decide from there. For me that means "net carbs" of 20 or less. I do much better if I pre-plan my day, so here is what I'm planning on doing today. lol--not necessarily in this order (smiles)

I have a couple ideas for your cream calorie intake.
I have fat free redi whip you can add instead of heavy cream, it is 5 cal a serving, or the powdered cream, I am not a fan of plain coffee,but I have found these 2 do taste pretty good without all those calories!!
Hope may help you!!
What to do???
*hug* I am so glad to see your face again! I know your time is limited, but stick around and let us love on you!
I was watching something and it had Richard Simmons on it (a zillion years ago) and he was saying something about deep fried and how Louisiana folks love everything deep friend, even their sand.
Here is my favorite bacon story (doesnt everyone have a fun bacon story?)
Fella and I, before we were unionized, went to visit his brother Tim and family. I slept in late, and the truth was there was weird backstory stuff happening with fella and I was.. umm.. having a moment of displeasure. :} so I was "sleeping in" as late as I could so I could get my attitude together and not fly into a ***** state in front of people, cuz uggg..who needs that?
Anyway, I hear them up and making breakfast and I finally get up.
Morning I say to the people, mornin the people say to me. "**TBG, Patrick and I ate all of the sausage, so I cooked you some bacon" says Timmy. I said thank you, cuz well, who wouldnt. I sit down, and Timmy puts a WHOLE PLATE OF BACON IN FRONT OF ME, and I thought "damnit, I am dating the wrong brother." :} Timmy knows how to serve a girl some bacon!
Course, Timmy is not given to fits of moderation and athletic adventure like fella, and doesnt start jonesing for cereal and yogurt when people feed him too much bacon and eggs. :}
**TBG is what Timmy calls me, it stands for That Brandi Girl
Bacon party!! I might have to find someone to ask if they can grill this! I would have been afraid of a flash fire, but I WILL RISK IT FOR BACON! :}
