Not sure how to count these points...
We spent today at my IL's house. I ate lunch at home and we got to their house about 2:00 so I didn't expect to eat. Well, they keep what I consider to be odd hours and they eat lunch about 3 p.m. I was totally expected to eat with them (cultural thing, they are not American) or else appear rude. (They are back in America for the first time in a couple of years, I forgot that they ate late or else I wouldn't have eaten at home.) I made the smallest plate possible without being insulting. It's not that the food itself is horrible (chicken and rice, and then these things they call potato cakes, basically made with white potato, lots of different seasoning, and some veggies.) It's that they cook with a TON of oil. Since starting WW two weeks ago, I have not had greasy food and today's "lunch" made my stomach upset because it was so greasy. I had about 1/2 cup of the rice and chicken stuff and 2 potato cakes about 3" in diameter. Probably cooked in a half cup of oil if not more! Any idea of how many points I should call it? The food is Pakistani, if that helps.
