Hi Allison
How amazing to have seen a bald eagle!!
I love that you are planning in advance and looking after your needs, very inspiring. The best of luck with that.
JoEllen, great that you took the right foods with you to the restaurant.
I feel much more confident about getting my food needs met after reading your posts.
Allison, can you let us know which option you chose?

Hi Allison,

: I hope you have a fun weekend.

: When I used to go out to a restaurant
: for lunch with a friend, we'd get
: these veggie bowls of brown rice,
: fermented veggies, cashew cream,
: nondairy pesto, all delicious
: stuff but without enough protein.
: It was a very low key place, so
: I'd just bring 2 peeled hard
: boiled eggs in a baggie and put
: them in. Later the restaurant
: started offering them as a side
: order!

: I'm not sure what kind of place
: you're going to, if that's OK or
: not, but that could be an option
: for your salad. I used to bring my
: own pre-toasted bread to Chili's
: and order a hamburger with
: guacamole, mustard and pickles but
: without a bun, then build it
: myself at the table. No one ever
: seemed to mind.
