We Jamaicans eat it quite often, we even call it mutton, though of course it's really not. Dark meat, full of flavor, makes great gravy, perfect with plantains! Now you and Mrs. TBF have to make a trip to Jamaica.

However, I was allowed 35 flex points per week, so maybe he was adding in flex points. Or, maybe The Swede is weighing in at 300+ pounds?The Big Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399330438126032649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-46789396820895449192008-01-14T23:32:00.000-05:002008-01-14T23:32:00.000-05:00Would it seem right that The Swede would be allowe...Would it seem right that The Swede would be allowed 38 points a day?<BR/><BR/>I joined WW Online last week along with our friend (a male). He put in The Swede's height, age weight and it came up 38 points.

Mrs. TBF once had a group business dinner at a French restaurant in Basel and one of the assistants had picked the menu; so no choice of food for the diners.

We've been trying to find some European versions of the restaurant guides.

So I gain weight during the weekend and lose that weight during the week. The net result is that my weight pretty much stays the same when I weigh in on Fridays.The Big Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399330438126032649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-50444597817871097562008-01-11T09:59:00.000-05:002008-01-11T09:59:00.000-05:00You stick to 25 points per day?
