Chances are, the restaurant platter o' pasta plunked down in front of you is indeed a recommended serving size for one. One family of four, that is.

That said, if we want to keep our weight under control, we need to know serving sizes.

SACRAMENTO — Super-sized fast-food combos. Piles of pasta. Dessert. Dining out can be a disaster for those waging war against the waistline.

But a new Web site — healthydiningfinder.com — allows consumers to plug in a city or zip code, and up pops a list of restaurants in the area with a selection of menu items that meet certain healthy criteria, such as lower calories and fat content.

I was involved in an annual NCAA Basketball Pool for the Championship game and a few friends and I decided to make a night of it. The leader of the pool found a little restaurant in San Leandro that had at least three big screen TVs specifically for sports. So we piled into our cars and drove over, expecting a night of cheap beer and crappy food.

We were very wrong, and I couldn‘t have enjoyed being wrong more!

Nellallitea 'Nella' Larsen (April 13, 1891 – March 30, 1964) was a mixed-race novelist of the Harlem Renaissance who wrote two novels and a few short stories. Though her literary output was scant, what she wrote was of extraordinary quality, earning her recognition by her contemporaries and by present day critics.

Biography
Nella Larsen went by various names throughout her life. She was born in Chicago on April 13, 1891 as Nellie Walker, the daughter of the Danish immigrant domestic case worker Marie Hanson and Peter Walker, a West Indian man of color from Saint Croix who soon disappeared from her life. Taking the surname of her Scandinavian stepfather Peter Larsen, she also at times went by Nellye Larson, Nellie Larsen and, finally, Nella Larsen as well as by her married name Nella Larsen Imes.
