Neecy - glad to hear you had a good dinner. My daughter and her hubby live in Nanaimo but they had gone to Duncan to visit his brother for dinner yesterday. Of course, they got caught up in the south-Island power outage but luckily it came back on in time to finish cooking so they did get dinner!

We had turkey dinner (unfortunately no dark meat!) last night at a hotel in Edmonton - I didn't have any trouble passing up the mashed potatoes, but I wasn't as strong when it came to the stuffing. No cranberry sauce, but a not bad cranberry salsa, and slightly undercooked cubed squash of some kind. Being at the maintenance level, I don't worry too much about occasional over-carbing but I usually try to behave even while we're away.

Julie, we're on to your tricks! We know now that you know what that big box that heats up in your kitchen is for and that you DO SO know how to use it!
