TITLE: Things we shouldn't do!!!! AUTHOR: Possum DATE: 10/18/2004 01:35:57 AM ----- BODY: Well it has been an eventful little while for me. I decided to risk my intestinal tract by dining out. Something that I try not to do to often as some people have not a clue what gluten is. My hubby and I decided to go out to dinner and a movie, not a big deal you may think! We live in a small town so to do this we have to travel 75 kilometers. We went to a Mexican restaurant in Horsham which is our nearest large town and all was going well until....................... We went into the restaurant, very nice and very busy, Our table was directly under the stairs so every time I stood up I hit my head on the underside of a step. When they finally came to take our order My hubby and I both just wanted to order and Entree as we had had a late lunch but we were informed that there was a minimum order for food on a Friday and Saturday night. So we ordered the Entree and I made sure that it was gluten free while our entree was being prepared we perused the menu some more and Kevin decided on a desert while I opted for a main course. I had no idea what I was ordering so I just asked that it be gluten free. Our entree came and we asked if the other food could be ready soon as we wanted to go to the movies and the waitress informed us that we should have told the waitress that took our entree order as we should have just had main so we could get out faster. This probably doesn't sound to bad so far but by now my blood was boiling so when my main course came I just started eating. I was half way though main when I looked at what I was eating and started to get suspicious. I asked the waitress what I was eating and she told me that it was seafood in a bechamel sauce. Lots of flour in that. I lost my appetite in a big hurry after that. We finally got to see the movie but half way through I had to rush out and be sick Needless to say I have been paying for it since. I definitely won't be risking Mexican at Moes again!!!!!! So I am now back onto the plain old boring absolutely gluten free no pre prepared crap until I get my intestines back under control again!!!! Hopefully My next entry will be a little more positive Kylie ----- --------
