Does that still add up to 1500 calories? Oh, I also ordered the tres leche cake, but I did share it with friends. Delicious as it is, now that I know how it all adds up, I'm afraid the fare is just too sinful.

PLEASE NO is what I said out loud when I read Louise's post, scaring my daughter-in-law who walked in the room at that very moment. And I am not a calorie counter . . . until now, when death is on the line.<br /><br />The pork salad w/ house dressing (and I know you want to know this) has only 800 calories. If you get the chicken salad, it has 275 calories less. <br /><br />Redemption.Cheri Pray Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015882287522563890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911995834831777898.post-88050749357131276072010-04-16T21:48:20.047-06:002010-04-16T21:48:20.047-06:00You failed to mention that often husbands go with ...You failed to mention that often husbands go with wives.

He doesn't even seem to care that it's all girl food. (Do you think that's related to the fact that he drives a MINI Cooper?
