when eating out, order a "go box" when you order your meal so that you can divide all the portions in half and take the remainder home - saves calories and money...

o' charley's has "mini desserts" for 1.99.
in my opinion, thier mini desserts are a full sized dessert,
so i suggest ordering only 1 and splitting it with your dinner partner or taking it home. the brownie lovers brownie seems to be much lower in calories than the ooey gooey caramel pie.
