Tuesday night was my first restaurant experience since beginning my journey. I thought I was ready. I did my research. I was prepared or so I thought.
While waiting for our table the bartender took our drink order. Ice water please (good job). We were seated at our table and I looked over the menu. It was only 2 pages with large type. It was not overwhelming but you would have thought I was reading French (which I don't). I read the stupid thing at least five times. One third of it was appetizers so I can rule those out. OK two thirds to go. I can do this.
Fish looks good but once I figured out which fish I wanted they had three different ways to fix it. To hard. OK move on to burgers. I can eat it with a fork and knife, only have half the bun and no ketchup or mayo. Oh that doesn't come with the soup and that sounded really good. Finally, finally, finally I figured something out. I ordered the special. Grilled chicken breast with linguine and a light chicken broth sauce. I know, I know. Pasta. I am not cutting out carbs completely, I am just being aware of them and trying to cut down on them. The waitress brings the roll basket to us and I pass it. They smell so good. It comes back around to me and I place it aside (good job). Surprise surprise I didn't really miss it. Our meals come and I am quite happy. The portion size was perfect. They called it the senior portion (I am 41 and almost offended) but who cares. I don't care if they call it a kids meal. It was the right size. Small chicken breast. A small cereal bowl size serving of linguine and one cup of chicken broth (good job). I took my time. I enjoyed my meal. I had a very nice time. Hmmm. Maybe I am growing up.
So what do you think? Was it a failure or success?
