Atkins Unfriendly

You won't catch anyone in our house eating a low-carb diet. We like our carbs here at Rancho O'Connell. We like bread, we like ice cream, we like Krispy Kreme. What we don't like is being lazy and not getting any exercise.

I had a long discussion about this with a local business owner the other day. He used to be an executive chef and now he and his wife run a deli/produce store. The place he used to work was an extremely swank golfing resort and he said the waiters would come into the kitchen often saying that someone asked for "Low Carb Options." Tom would tell them, "Your option is to get off your ass and walk the golf course rather than taking a cart. Then you can come back here and eat anything you want!"

Pass the potatoes.
