*making a card for the vet who saved my parrot's life

I wanted to add something to my post about the potluck. I am on step 7. I have about 20 years of experience doing the program, so I have a lot of experience doing this kind of thing. If you are on an earlier step, it doesn't have to be this complicated. If you are on step 1, you would eat whatever you wanted at the potluck. On step 2, you would eat whatever you wanted but make a note of it etc. I shared this as an example of how even on step 7, you don't have to give up things like potlucks etc

: At work, we have monthly potluck
: lunches. They can be a bit of a
: challenge sometimes. We have a
: sign up sheet so I try to figure
: out what people are bringing and
: what will be an option for me and
: plan around that. This time, a lot
: of people didn't write anything on
: the sign up sheet, and the only
: main dish that someone had put
: down was pizza, which I knew
: wasn't going to work for me. So I
: decided to bring chicken. I bought
: 2 rotisserie chickens at Costco
: and shredded the meat. In addition
: to the chicken, there was salad, a
: veggie tray, fruit, tortilla chips
: and guacamole, and potato salad
: (and it even had skins).

: I combined the salad greens, chicken,
: and veggies from the veggie tray
: to make a salad. For browns, I had
: tortilla chips and potato salad,
: which was not ideal, but was ok.

: I had also brought some back up food,
: such as celery and carrots and
: some brown rice. I figured that if
: the food people brought didn't
: work for me, I would eat what I
: could and then supplement with my
: own food. I did find workable
: options, and I was too full to eat
: the back up food, but I have it in
: the fridge at work so I won't have
: to bring as much food tomorrow
: because I have a variety of foods
: here.

: There was chicken left over, so I
: will bring it home and we can make
: enchilada casserole or some other
: dish with it. I am also bringing
: home what was left of the chickens
: after I took the meat off so we
: can make broth and give our dogs a
: few treats as well (skin and bits
: of meat, no bones.)
