Thanks JoEllen, that is all very helpful to hear

: Hi Fiona,

: Coming in a little late here-I've
: been away.

: Chinese food is pretty easy now. The
: restaurant I go to has brown rice;
: many offer it. My favorite thing
: there is Green Jade (green beans,
: broccoli and snap peas), which I
: ask for with no sugar. Then I get
: Kung Pao tofu without sugar. I
: order two dishes for myself and
: take the leftovers home. My
: husband is gluten free and they
: make him dishes with gluten free
: soy sauce. In my experience
: Chinese restaurants are happy to
: accommodate. You can probably ask
: for any dish with tofu (fried is
: best, not so blubbery, ha ha)
: instead of meat. I've also gotten
: tofu with eggplant and ginger, no
: sugar, so yummy.

: Like others said, it's nice to enjoy
: dinner with friends. I hope you
: do.
