I write my blog posts a week ahead of time. I am currently traveling. By the time you read this post I will be back home in south Texas. I like to eat healthy. Before I go to a restaurant, I check out the online menu to see if they have healthy options. Most places have something approximating a healthy choice, which lead me negotiating with the waiter over my order. This morning, for example, the menu offered a vegetarian omelet with spinach, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, onions, and avocado slice on top. So far so good. To complement the omelet they were going to add hash browns to the plate. I started negotiating. I asked for egg whites instead of whole eggs. Yes, they made the switch. I asked to switch out the hash browns for a small bowl of fresh fruit. They could do that but it cost me two bucks extra. It was worth it. Then I negotiated the bread. It was supposed to come with white bread (ugh!!). Surely, they must have an alternative. Well, ask and receive. I asked and they said they did have sourdough. Let’s do it. It turned out to be a great meal. Next time you’re in a restaurant and wanting to eat healthy ask for subs or add ins. I’ve found most places will work with me. Although, I often wonder if they circulate a poster on me warning others to beware of the guy who’s going to question his order until he gets it the way he wants it. LOL
