    Now I’m really bummed out! I like the Awesome Blossom!! I don’t eat out much since I stopped working outside the home, but still. I’ve tried the dipping bread in the olive oil & balsamic vinegar. I liked it. Don’t eat it, but I liked it. I only use olive oil in bread that I make. Then it’s only 1/3 cup to a 3 loaf batch.

    Given the way people eat these days, I don’t doubt the weight gain. Given the amount that I’ve lost, I’m real careful about trying not to gain any back. So I watch it. Nobody else I know does, though.

    Karen, moderation.

    A bloomin’ onion from time to time is okay.

    Seven bloomin’ onions a week means you need to have a heart surgeon on call.

    I’ve seen that before, & it’s true. I can do a Happy Meal in a sitting, but that’s about it. No drink, as I usually carry my tea with me. With significant weight loss, comes a shrunken stomach, which is a good thing.

    The last time I had an Awesome Blossom was over 5 years ago, & it was split between 4 people. 7 in a week, it would be too late for the surgeon.
