I CAN eat out!!!

Last night, I really wanted a steak.  This is weird for me because up until a couple of months ago, I did not like steak.  I ate it a lot growing up, and could not tolerate it anymore!  Alas, I wanted steak.  I have some steak waiting for me to cook up into fajitas, but it was late and....I wanted steak.  You get the point!

So, Friday's here I come!  I ordered a water, how boring...actually my whole meal was a bit boring, but it was good.  When the waiter asked to take our order, I told him I had some menu questions and he might want to get comfortable.  He told me "I will lie the best I can".  I begged him not to.  He asked my allergies and got the "allergen menu".  I never even knew restaurants had this sort of thing!  Of course, corn was not one of them listed, but it was a good help in the way of cow's milk.  I ended up getting the sirloin and shrimp minus the buttery goodness they put on everything.  The sides, just as boring, I got two orders of steamed broccoli. 

I had to say no to appetizers and dessert, but who really needs all those extra calories anyway, right?!?!  At least I got my steak!  And, I can eat out, I just have to be careful.

  1. That's awesome! I love the new profile too! It's good to know, maybe other places have "allergen menus"!
