An out to eat weekend

4 out of the 5 Meals I ate this weekend were out of my house, and I barely survived. What's funny is that each meal got progressively more difficult to choose vegan options.

Friday was pure heAven. We went to Kalajandhjis in Dallas. It was amazing! I never knew Indian food could be so good! And the atmosphere alone is worth the trip, it's def like a small Indian palace. Our table was in the courtyard part and it was very peaceful.

Saturday- for lunch we met my family at Abuelos. You would think Mexican would be easy, but a quick google search warned me about all the bacon and dairy. So I chose AVacado enchiladas with steamed veggies. I asked if the enchiladas had cheese in them and the server said no. However, when I got my plate there was cheese all over the top. Matt scooped it off and on to his plate and gave me his share of guacamole. Sweet! I would recommend going with veggie Fajitas next time.

Saturday dinner was my 10yr reunion. There was absolutely nothing vegan there. Alot of meats, mashed potatoes, 2 salads w cheese and a roll. So I took my chances with the roll and picked the cheese out of the little salad I ate. No wonder that 1 drink gave me such a headache. I didn't eat much that day at all.

Side note: I have noticed I am super sensitive to alcohol, caffeine, pain medicine, and antibiotics. I can literally feel the medicines as they kick into my bloodstream. Shouldn't i be given a smaller dose if i'm smaller now?

Sunday was the ultimate vegan challenge. Texas Roadhouse! I mean they actually have a meal called Roadkill. I knew it would be hardso I googled it and decided on a side salad and sweet potato. I packed my own tub of Earth Balance butter and some salad dressing. I made sure the waitress understood that there should be no cheese in it. This time the salad came with egg all in it. So I bravely asked for another salad without. So my salad consisted of iceburg lettuce and tomatoes, good thing I had brought some onions. And good thing for the butter container too. My uncle caught a cricket on our table and placed him in the butter tub. He threw the tub in the trash on the way out. I know that's not very vegan, but I'm too scared of jumpy bugs to try to save him. I hope thecricket dies happily from eating too much vegan butter.
