Eating Out

The nice thing about eating out is that everybody gets to choose what they really want, instead of eating what is set before you.  A possible down side to eating out is that the food may be prepared or served completely differently than what you're expecting.

Two of us ordered a taco salad this evening.  It came without the taco shell. That was quite a surprise to me.  But it was an excellent taco salad in spite of the lack of taco shell.  I was reminded that it was much more diet friendly without the shell, and that's true.

Because there were no taco shells, we were served supplementary mini tacos, which had been planned as an appetizer.  I didn't eat any of my minis.  I decided I'd been given a bonus to have such good food without the extra calories and I would be satisfied with that.  The kids who were with us, were happy to take care of the mini tacos for me.  And that gave me room to have dessert, --turtle cheese cake.  Our waitress told us that we got the last four pieces which they had.  We were grateful!
