Default *head desk*

I belong to a blog site - in a quest for foods for a party this weekend I asked in the cooking community for LOW CARB ideas.

responses have been
stuffed potatoes
pizza
every pasta dish known to man
and
"gee, why not just hunker down with candy and popcorn?"

there are days it really is a blessing that I can NOT reach through the screen and strangle people!!!

Which just goes to prove that the general populace really has NO FREAKIN' CLUE what "low carb" means! LOL!

I'm glad you can't reach through the screen too, April, or we'd be bailing you out of cyberjail!

I can relate. My mom just cannot understand that low carb means no normal bread and no normal pasta...

April rose - yes i too can realate. My dad doesn't have a clue what low carb means. After telling him I can't eat the bread he uses he'll ask if I would like crackers instead or some potato chips.

LOL! That's MY Dad, too, Rob - I can't TELL you how many times in the last three years he's asked if we want a potato with dinner.

He usually phrases it as "Can YOU PEOPLE have a potato with that?" Like we are aliens or something!
