Thai Shrimp Salad $12.19

Tonight we welcome back after a (long or short, depending on appreciation for the Olympics) hiatus ... The Biggest Loser.  Both Barbara and I DO NOT MISS this show.  Here we record it and watch it starting at 8:20...never call and be a spoiler - that's not funny!  Barbara on the other hand schedules nearly everything around TBL... including her food - so, logically, we star another Jillian special in tonight's dinner spot.
