you think popcorn is a main course.

You have potatoes in some form for all three meals, more than two days in a row.

Yup, guilty.

Annie

I need better glasses.

I thoguht the thread was:

You know you eat too many crabs when .......

dcarch :-)

Weed, where are you? It's too much carp!

Popcorn's not a main course?!

To many crabs! NEVER!!!!! There is no such thing. There's crab puffs, crabcakes, crab sandwiches, crab quiche, crab cakes benedict, crab bisque, steamed crab, crab legs... Do I sound like that guy in Forrest Gump yet?

Now wait just a cottonpickin' minute Irish/Indian sis, you know there aint not a doggone thing wrong with potatoes every meal of every day. Right? Psst? how's that new baby doing?

Now who is with me? Wait, I have had popcorn for a main course on many occassions!!!! Hm. Ok, I've got it.

Hi. I'm Robin and I'm a carbaholic. hi Robin!

Well, of course there isn't anything wrong with potatoes for every meal. They have no fat, more potassium than a banana, fiber if you eat the peel, I think I should have more of them!

What do you mean popcorn isn't a meal, that's what I had for lunch today...

Oh no, there's no such thing as too many crabs, dcarch. Not possible at all.

Annie

"Oh no, there's no such thing as too many crabs"

I don't much care for the very small ones.

Well, that just means you have to eat more of them, so that's still not too many.

Robin, the baby is growing like crazy, as babies are wont to do. She's very good natured and we all went to Chuck E cheese on Tuesday, she was 4 weeks old that day. She slept through it, LOL, which is what I wish I could do...

Annie

LOL, at Annie! Snoozin' at Chuck-E Cheese!

.....when you eat a 4-serving pot of mashed potatoes as the dinner, not the side dish....and then lapse into a carb coma.

Yep, guilty --- but no more, I stopped doing that a few years ago.

Teresa

or you have biscuits and pancakes for breakfast because your diabetic DH is out of town.

Of that I am guilty too Teresa! (cue Homer Simpson) mmm Potatoes

Cathy, you're entitled!

Annie,

You jsut give that sweet lil' gal a big squeeze on her baby thighs. My favorite part of their squishy little bodies. Pure heaven.

. . . Never!

John -- the really little ones? Yuck.

I must've lived in California too long. I'll bite what is a little one? Do you mean the parasitic crabs that live inside of other things like clams or oysters? Or are these an East coast phenomenon?

John, do you mean "peekytoe crab"?

I think they are possible the best crab ever. My DS brings them down from Maine when they visit so I can fill our freezer.

They're available at the French Laundry so I know a few make it to the west coast.

I thought it said crabs, too, at first, Dcarch.

Of course popcorn is a meal!

You know you eat you eat too many carbs when...

you realize that you've been planning meals around carbs rather than protein and doing it for a long time. I'll plan meals around pasta, rice, potatoes, etc. and then figure out how to work a protein into the meal. It's a by product of being vegetarian, I think. ... and of being a carboholic.

Sally

Oh -- I was thinking about the ones people have when they say they have "crabs."

...when you stock up on quick cooking couscous so when you have that 'need' you can just boil 2 cups of water, stir in a Knorr bullion cube, then a cup of couscous, bring back to a boil, then cover, turn off the heat, let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff it up and stir in butter or olive oil and eat it plain or with toppings ranging from more butter, or salsa, or any leftovers, or...

Not that I would know, of course.

When you would always select chips over chocolate.

Oh my! eandhl most certainly takes the prize for "best" carboholic!

Teresa

When my endocrinologist broke down in tears after seeing my latest A1C results.

Oh, I am right there with eandhl! I've got good chocolate sitting around, and I can completely resist it, but bring a bag of potato chips through the door..... For me it is as much the salt and grease as the carbs, though, I think. (Cue Homer....) Mmmmmm..... potato chips!

Hah, I've got this one down pat! When you eat some form of pasta for three or four meals a day for a solid week or more!! I do this often. I need to eat three or four or more small meals a day and sometimes the only meal that's not pasta is supper with Christy, but then...sometimes she eats something else and I eat pasta for supper too. Bwahahaha... I even freeze quite a bit of the sauce so that I can have fresh sauce after I run out of the first pound of pasta. Sometimes I have my pasta with just butter, or butter and sour cream or with cottage cheese and of course there are periogies with sour cream and gnocchi or ravioli with sour cream. After about a week or ten days I make my next big pot of chili... and eat that with...rice...or bread...or tortilla's or... some darn carb...potatoes....

My name is Coconut and I am a carb lover.

[psst...when the little crabs were mentioned and then Annie said didn't eat enough of them..... gagggg..... I too figured he meant the body crabs...shudder...gaggg..]

Now if I lived back in New Orleans and could get crabs all the time............I'd still eat pasta two or three times and day and crabs once or twice...lol.

Btw, my A1C is excellent as is my cholesterol and such. I think it's all the sauce. My weight, not so much, but I'm a nice healthy obese person. Smiles.
