Whenever I'm on the road, or when I want to slip out of the office during lunchtime for something other than the cheese and hotdogs that I normally take for lunch (while I'm on this Low-Carb "diet")... I like to know my options going in.

Do you know what the Low-Carb choices are at fast-food restaurants these days?

Here's what I found...

(Keep reading... it gets better.)

...To keep POTATOES from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

...Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ICE CREAM drips.

...Wrap CELERY in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

...Cure for headaches: Take a LIME, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

...Don't throw out all that leftover WINE. Instead, freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and other dishes.

So, where in the world did I find these great tips from Martha Stewart, you ask?... Why on CarTalk of course!

...just don't ask him for the recipe for anything he's created -- because he doesn't know.

Oh he'll start with a recipe in hand. Or rather, a HANDFUL of recipes -- all for similar (but not identical) dishes.

Then he picks the best of what he likes from each of them, and he creates his "masterpiece".

I figure I haven't died yet, so I'm content to let him keep experimenting on me.

He definitely likes to "mix it up a bit".
