Mmmm....I would love to try some real Cajun food. I hear it's awesome. I can handle a fair amount of spice, too (that Portuguese blood o' mine ), so I'd probably enjoy it. The portioning is the way to go! I'm proud of you for doin' it.

I am no longer able to eat heavy or greasy foods. A couple of bites is about all I can tolerate. Funny, since I still have some 65ish lbs to go, but my body has retrained itself. Keeps me from goin' overboard. Even pizza doesn't tempt me the way it used to. Chinese, however... We got some last night, and I love how I can eat tons of it and not blow it.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. If I ever make it to Mardi Gras, I'll have to look you up!
