BBQ, Lemon Pie, and Dieting

Stop me if you have heard this one: Two dieters and a diabetic walk into a BBQ restaurant in search of lemon pie....

Our visit to Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q with the local Lunch Bunch was to participate in the Sweet on a Cure fundraiser to benefit the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center. We thought the joke would be on us but with a little juggling we were able to piece together some fairly good lunch choices that met our limited caloric and carbohydrate needs, as well as satisfied our midday hunger pangs.

The lemon pie made its way into the hands of a local sculptor and his assistants. While it looked delicious, no one needs lemon pie sitting around tempting those of us without an ounce of willpower.

Sweet on a Cure continues through Sunday, November 14th.
