Gary, for those of us that shop at Vons, their "O Organic" whole wheat pasta is wonderful. I don't know how they do it, but it is indistinguishable from regular pasta (even my kids say so). I've tried many brands, and this is our favorite.

Thanks Allison, I'll give it a try!

I have to, sadly, admit that I have eaten the KFC bowl ONCE and it was hideous. I was surprised because i like some of their food (not mixed all together of course) but it was actually as terrible as it looks.

ITA. I ate lunch at McDonalds yesterday. I had a hamburger and a small fry. Not super healthy, but calorie-wise it's much better than any entree at Chili's or Fridays or any of those places. I don't know why McDonalds gets so villified.

Also, to whomever was talking about the drinks at Cheesecake Factory--their margaritas are fabulous. And $11 a pop. Thankfully, I've moved away from the only Cheesecake around here, so we never go anymore! My diet and my wallet thank me.
