why i love paul
the friends who came to dinner last night have been following the atkins diet. when i heard this, as we were putting dinner on the table, i said, "oh, well, the beef and the sauce are low-carb, and perhaps a bit of the asparagus...and i can leave the cheese plate on the table if you want..."
"no, no," one of them assured me, "we're doing modified atkins," and happily accepted potatoes and pie.
later, after they'd left, as he surveyed the carnage in the kitchen, paul said, "'yeah, we're doing modified atkins. we've modified it...by adding starch.'"
Comments
