Good Evening!
Well, I had planned to take a nap, and nap I did! And I have a feeling I'll actually be going to bed in a little bit. -I still have a slight headache which could still be a result of the turbulent flights and/or the lack of sleep the past 36 hours. Ah, well...
I meant to mention that while I was waiting in the Chattanooga airport, I had a very nice chat with Mr. Christopher Durang. He was one of the Keynote Speakers at the convention (along with Mimi Kennedy), and he, too, was waiting for the airport to re-open. Unfortunately, I was kind of reticent while chatting with him, and kept it more or less to small talk - I really wanted to gush and gush, but I held back. However, he's very nice, and we did talk about some mutual friends and acquaintances we have. I guess I was a little star-struck. -Has anyone else caught his "act": "Christopher Durang and Dawn"? VERY funny. He hasn't done it in a while, but he did say he'd like to bring it back again sometime.
BK - There is a lot of Thai food that is very Atkins and/or South Beach friendly - if you stick to the appetizers and soups you should be safe. Otherwise, as others have mentioned, just keep the rice on the side. *I'm very partial to the dried beef and green papaya salads (which also have Vietnamese variations).
