But there's also an actual, tiny bakery that makes them in LA--I don't know how far they distribute, but I think they might even mail them out, they're so popular!<BR/><BR/>Betty, I agree with you about WW being a tough sell in China. I've had "authentic" Chinese food many times, and the flavors and textures are quite unlike what we're used to!Kathryn Lilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701558750790059307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-70087371957388783352008-07-18T18:03:00.000-04:002008-07-18T18:03:00.000-04:00I never went to weight watchers, but had two recip...I never went to weight watchers, but had two recipes from an old weight watchers cookbook I loved. One was bascially dry milk, water, ice, sweetner and vanilla. You put all the stuff in a blender and the ice would thicken the drink. There is a brank of dry milk called Milkman, I think, that is nonfat, but really creamy tasting. It was better than Carnation for the "shakes." <BR/><BR/>My other favorite involved mixing ricotta cheese with cinammon and some sweetner and putting on bread which was then heated slightyly in the microwave. I think they called it their version of a cheese danish. It made a nice breakfast choice.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Chinese cusine is much for dairy -- at least if you go by what is served in Chinese restaurants here, so I guess those recipes wouldn't work for them.Betty Hechtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652848311122102223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-39731759699585986462008-07-18T16:35:00.000-04:002008-07-18T16:35:00.000-04:00I just joined Weight Watchers online.

I guess what they really don't want people to do is binge out on anything that's considered "zero" points. On the other hand, I've been known to go a day eating little more than a pint of Chubby Hubby ice-cream. Totally unhealthy, but so good!Kathryn Lilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701558750790059307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-55201570654743475792008-07-18T11:52:00.000-04:002008-07-18T11:52:00.000-04:00No wonder I can't lose weight.

Of course, two halves are one point, so there is some effect over a week or several... if one is honest enough to count it!<BR/>--LindaLinda O.
