haha I do and I don't usually eat out that often and I didn't choose the restaurants. I can't eat those things either except once in a blue moon. Today, had lunch at Copeland's, Catherine...New Orleans style restaurant. Host ordered stuffed mushrooms to start and they were stuffed with crab meat then battered and fried. Yum. Had the crab and corn bisque, salad and crab cake and shrimp on angel hair pasta. No I didn't finish it. :P
OMG, PRchick, I hope you are getting some regular exercise to counteract these wonderful tasting (but weight gaining) foods! Your holiday season is going to have some effect on your waistline . . . but hopefully once it all returns to same-old-same-old . . . it will return to normal, :lol: :lol:

Yeah, and it really sucks too!! Smaller portions, lots of vegs and fruit, cut out the bread (can have a little but not every meal every day) and reduce fat! Exercise will help too!

Sometimes I hate being healthy :lol: :lol:

Me thinks my diet is going to be very difficult, normally I do eat healthy with not much fat intact & chocolate doesn't bother me either way.

[face=Comic Sans MS]It's the first biscuit in the pack that's the dangerous fattening one - why? - because it leads to all the others. :) :( (Say's she who knows after demolishing a pack of Scottish Shortbread Fantails in the last couple of days. :roll: :( )[/face]

Nothing magic about making potato salad just boil the potatoes until they are cooked but still alittle bit firm in centre dice some onions and then mix all together with mayonaise then sprinkle paprika on the top you can also slice frankfurters and mix in. :P :P

I like to use a bit of mustard and some pickle relish (sweet or dill depending on what you like or what is available).

This is a good recipe using sweet potatoes:

I actually mixed about half sweet potato with half regular potatoes and I believe I changed the spices. They were crispy on the outside but without the greasiness you would get if you fried them.

Don't think thats the same potato salad as we are talking about as here in the uk it is made with cold cooked potatoes and mixed with mayonnaise and whatever else you want to put in but have just had a look at your recipe Glyph and think will give it a try as sounds good :P :P
