Today my Nanny took the family out to lunch. It was the first time since becoming Vegatarian ordering from a restaurant menu.
Before: I would open up the menu eg. lunchtime. See if they have a roast beef dip or a clubhouse sandwich and place my order with a coke.
Now: I must have looked at that menu over 4 times, seeing what was there, if they had a vegatarian section, then re looked to see how i can switch something up and not add meat etc. I had so much selection that the process was fun and interesting to me, which I would never have thought that ordering could be.
Since it was lunchtime and all i had for breakfast was a peach i still wanted something to fill my breakfast craving. So I ordered a toasted western sandwich. I ordered the sandwich on brown bread, requested no meat and with a ceasar salad and not the fries. With my sandwich there was a choice for sweet potatoe fries which I was going to try as that sounded interesting but thought a salad would be a healthier choice. While ordering I felt a little feeling of "who do you think you are" kind of way, it was weird no meat, brown bread, no fries, where I have never put any adjustments on my food before. The feeling quickly passed as I was then feeling...I am making healthier choices and I shouldn't feel that way. The waitress is lucky as I almost asked how the sweet potatoe fries were cooked and in what type of oil....LOL!
So ordering from a restaurant has been a good one even though I watched my uncle eat a toasted clubhouse sandwich with regular fries in front of me. I was all good!
