"I discovered Portabello mushrooms when I McDougalled in 1998. They had (have?) grilled Portabella mushrooms & they were very good." I meant to say I discovered them at Chevy's, probably not totally McDougall legal but that is easy to remedy at home.
I too, feel strange, when I am around others who are not vegan. Last week we had another stupid staff meeting, usually we order in, the other girls are really good at knowing I am vegan & they ask me where I want to eat. I either bring my lunch or I order something that is McDougall legal. This time doc told me he knows I hate it, but we were going to the pizza place. I can go to Subway & get a sandwich. I am like, no, I will go home & make my lunch. How dare he tell me where I will eat? By the way, I lose my lunch hour & do not get paid for anything but my lunch & then on top of that, he tells me what I will eat? I think not. The theory was the pizza place is so much quicker. Well, I went home, got my lunch, garbanzo bean salad sandwich & some baby carrots, got back to the pizza place & still waited almost 15 mn. for them. I could barely stand to look at the greasy pizza & oil salad dressings, sitting on their plates. Funny, I think they all felt uncomfortable, too. Ha,ha, that will fix them.
Isn't it nice that you got a chance to meet that lady & talk to her & that she was actually interested in what you are doing? Too bad for your SIL, that is all I have to say. Can't wait to hear about how the wedding/reception goes. You are strong, prepared & doing great!!!!!!!!!!!
