Liz - before I went on the low carb diet I had just gotten into the rice cakes. I LOVED them. They are fairly low in calories and took the place of chips for me. I even spread a little butter and parmesan cheese on them and toasted them in the oven. Yummy!! But alas, they do have carbs so I gave them up. Try them, you'll like them. Get the flavored ones.

Don - Tom's birthday is in November. He's 5 weeks older than me and I NEVER let him forget it :D :D I promise I won't give you a hard time about it :)

Liz - 53 (almost 54) is still young in my book!! It's amazing how many people on this board are around this age.
