I'm posting because for once I have nothing to complain about! We're about to take a trip to the mall to see 2 movies back to back (DD wanted Nim's Island, and me and BF wanted Leatherheads...so we're doing both!) Nothing like sitting on your ass in the dark for 4 hours to facilitate weight loss. :tt1:

I told them we're walking around the mall for at least 2 hours to counteract the sitting.

I generally hate the mall, but I want some new size 18s!

Well, I'm going to complain. All the talk about spinach dip make me crazy! DH and I ended up going to Applebee's last night and of course, I ordered the spinach & artichoke dip. Well, it sucked! I don't know if they have a new cook or what, but I could tell when it arrived at the table it looked a lot different than it usually does. It was awful! That is the first time I have ever gotten a bad batch of spinach dip, yuck!!

On a good note...........I ordered the french onion soup as a starter and it was absolutely delicious!!! Thanks for the soup tip Laurend!

Hey! I went there last week as one of my 'last meals' and got the spinach dip and it was GROSS! It looked weird...really, really green, like bright green and it was bland. Even the chips sucked. No fair. I wanted yummy stuff. They had to have done something different to their recipe.

Thanks for giving me something to complain about...albeit FOOD!! lol

That's exactly how mine looked! Usually it's more of a white creamy looking dip with the green spinach throughout. Even the saucy part was green! It pretty much tasted like I was eating pure spinach with no seasonings! It's been a couple of months since I've gotten it and I was just sooooo disappointed.

Since we're complaining about Applebee's, I'll add another thing that bugs me about them. Has anyone else ever noticed that their menu changes like once a month? They get you hooked on something, then they take it away! That really irks me! My hubby tried to the cheddar jack mac & cheese with his steak, and they took it off the menu! He's says he's done with Applebee's, but I don't think so. He still loves their steaks.

I want to complain . . . I've had a migraine since Wednesday and because of this dang band I can't get my medication down, so it won't go away.

Any one else on here have migraines and if so, how do you treat them?

And I'm hungry and too restricted to eat! :tt1:

Lynne---I know Tylenol does not help migraines---but itmight help with the other aches and pains brought on by it. The Junior Strength 6-12 year old Rapid Melts. I buy the store brand, and while you have to dissolve 4-6 of them, the taste is not bad (like the Go Tabs) and there is no need for Water to swallow them with, so they go down when you are so tight.

Last week when I was so swollen from being sick, I drank hot tea, just as hot as I could stand it, with honey, and it finally helped. I had NEVER in my banded life been that tight, I was scared! My Dr. was out of town, but another suggested the super hot, and it worked!

I was running a high fever, and the Tylenol, and finally getting some liquids in eventually helped. Hope you feel better soon.

Whatever you drink---make it full caffeine---that will help with the migraine a bit. So sorry!

oh yeah, I need a complaint.......

I HATE unloading the dishwasher, and I ALWAYS have to do it...

I hate that I AM the dishwasher! We rent our home and it's really aggravating because our last house had a dishwasher and then we moved and no more dishwasher. Our kitchen is soooo small now, I really don't think a dishwasher would even fit. I usually wash dishes about 2-3 times a day because I can't stand for dirty dishes to be left out very long. eh, that's life I guess!

Laurend, look for two very offensive posts from "NoFatChix". I think that's the OP-both very hateful messages. The only questionable factor is the spelling. Both these new messages have no spelling errors. :tt1:

the most offensive of those messages has been removed. the user is no longer with us.

I need to complain.

My cousin lives 2 houses away from a Dairy Queen and she won't trade houses with me. She's so lucky.

I can complain about Applebee's. The food at our local one SUCKS. Last time I went the chips were like rubber, literally, could fold them in half. When we asked for new chips, they brought out another plate of.. rubber chips. The dip was extremely bland, and I wasn't going to eat them with rubber chips.

So we haven't been back in a while, for this weekend I was taking my sister and her gf out for lunch. I asked if they wanted to go to Applebee's (its near their house), they said no it made them sick recently. My sister swears there was a worm in her steak (I dunno), and her gf was throwing up all night after eating her steak.

The one near Killeen, TX was awful. I went there a couple weeks ago w/my BF and his family. Everything came out cold - even the French Onion Soup that BF's mother ordered. When the manager came over he asked, "What do you want me to do about it." I gave him a look and said, "I don't know...what do you normally do about it?" Hello!?

So, he said that the soup comes frozen (frozen??) and he would re-heat that in the microwave and the other food he'd make fresh for us.

It was good the second time around, but still not HOT food. It was luke-warm at best.

I usually like Applebees, too.

I guess after reading all the complaints above that I should feel thankful that the closest Applebees is 95 miles away. Talking of dips....Green Mill has a great artichoke dip. Pretty fattening but good. I have a recipe similar to it and add chicken. I have been trying to revamp it with low fat mayo.

dips are my downfall...I love chips and dip.

Why does the bad stuff still go down so easily? :Dancing_wub:

speaking of dips... im really loving the Tostino's spinach dip. it comes in a jar and mix it with canned chicken and is SOOOO good. Thanks to Georgia Girl for turning me onto it...

it's now a staple in my house.

i even made it for a party my parents hosted this weekend as an appetizer and it's the only thing that was eaten 100% ...

took 3 cans chicken (bigger cans)

whole jar of dip

sprinkled top w/ parm cheese

threw it in the oven for about 15 mins (cheese melted and dip warm)...

delish!! and not high in cals/fat!!

on topic - cant stand applebees ... food always cold and crappy service.
