Let's Do Lunch Community

I wouldn't want to be pulling a trailer in this wind, either, Wendy! Wow! Sometimes you almost can't stand up in it!

The Texas Roadhouse just opened in CDA. I haven't been there yet, either. Give us your review when you get home. I'm curious.

Have a safe drive!

If you search the recipe boards for "hummus" you will find many great recipes.  You are right, we don't use the tahini paste.

Wendy we have Texas Roadhouse around the Burleson area and I love them, they have steaks, salads.  Thats about all I have eaten there.  And it was good.

Deborah D.

Wahoo, you guys are doing good.

The fruit of the week is papaya.  It's soo yummy.  Slice it in half, scoop out the seeds.  Peel and eat.

Spritz with a very good oil and with a light hand sprinkle cayenne pepper on them.  Oh, my gosh.

Chunk them up into bitesize bites and freeze.  RT these are better than grapes.

Enjoy the train trip and do try the papayas.

Hi Gwen & Thanks SS,
I'm glad you don't need the tahini paste,  at the graocery store here it costs $9.59 for a pint size jar and the receipt calls for 1 tablespoon.  Good luck next week.    jj

Sorry...didn't get to a computer yesterday.  I was up to 175 on Monday morning but I ate fruit all day yesterday and was curious this morning and down to 172.  I ate terrible on the weekend but it gave me my resolve back.
Congrats to everyone who is doing so well.  Look out because I have added coal and am making steam for the train..........

You all are doing so great on this train.  Maybe I should have gotten aboard at the station, but I have this phobia of posting my weight online.  I know, just a number, but its mine!  But I am with you in spirit.

RB, thanks for the info on the papaya.  It's one of those things I see in the stores, but didn't know how to eat it.  Maybe I'll give this one a try.  (Took me a long time to brave the mango, but I now live it!).

Loven LDL  Julie has a great hummas LDL friendly reciepe.  I think it is in the San Antonio thread.
Clown Lady    It is realy good  she served it at her house for all us us.

Did you eat the hummus with corn thins

I eat at the Texas Road House in Ashland, Ky., quite often.  Grilled Salmon and grilled vegetables are great.  Their ribs and steaks are also great. You can sniff the bread.   JF

OML, just got back from Sam's Club stocking up on fresh fruit....I got 2 medium watermelons, 4 lbs of strawberries, 3 lbs of green grapes,  6 lbs of oranges, 5 lbs pears, 6 lbs Red delicious apples, (already had 5 lbs of Grannie smith apples), 9 lbs of banana's and about 11 lbs of mango, (which is about 2 dozen mango's)...       I still had some grapefruit and Kiwi so did not buy any of them....I also got some sirloin steaks to fix for next Monday (May 10Th) for our special day....lets see if he will remember.  After getting home and putting the things up I ate 1/4 of one watermelon one of the mango and a pear and now I am so stuffed...don't think I will be able to eat for several hours....but man every thing was delish...

Deborah D.

Deborah - I think I would like to come over to your house for dinner.  All that fruit sounds delish.  I am just down to some watermelon and grapes.  I need to go shopping.

Come on over  Sneaky Snoopy I will share some of my fresh fruit with you....

Deborah D.

We are finally back and ready for bed.  I never made it to the Texas Road House because there was going to be a 3 hr wait before they could take us and that would have put us at 9 pm so we ended up at the Timber Creek  in Spokane on Argon.  It was ok!
So we will have to try again and call in earlier to get seating earlier.

ANNOUNCER - OUR TRAIN IS MOVING WITH 13 MORE CITIES.  IN ORDER I WILL LIST ALL FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOLLOWING ALONG WITH A MAP.

HOBBS
HUMBLE CITY

CROSSROADS
MILNESAND

I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT IS SURE NICE NOT TO STAY TOO LONG AT MCDONALD.  I HOPE EVERYONE PICKED UP SOME PEP WHEN YOU GOT RID OF YOUR POUNDS IN FARWELL.  WE WILL NOT GO BACK TO PICK UP ANY DISCARDED WEIGHT.  SORRY. 

OUR NEXT CITY IS FORT SUMNER.

Sound like you have a great place to buy fruit.  I just have to go to the store and it is less than perfect and pretty expensive.  But I still buy it because I tell my husband I'm worth it.  Can't wait til watermelons start being sold along the road here.  Won't be long.  The grapes are getting cheaper but don't seem as sweet.

ANNOUNCER - IT'S ANOTHER WEEKEND APROACHING.  DON'T BE MISS GUIDED OVER THE WEEKEND.  MAYBE TAKE A WALK IN THE NICE WARM SUN.  I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE CHECK IN.

It is quiet in here this weekend. I'll weigh-in first. I'm at 157, down one pound
