I hear ya its just not fair... I always tell my husband how lucky are you and everyone elese that you can just get what ever you want and not have to worry about anything you eat.. When we do go out its usuley subway or lonestar and its been know to upset my stomach.. and ordering the same old thing get so old after a while.... We went to the olive garden a few days ago and i ordered penne pasta with grilled chicken toms, zuchunnie and mushrooms and the waiter look at me like I was from outspace and said any sauce?? I said no! and then I ordered plain breadsticks and just a romaine sald and he thought I was a alien or something.. My husband gets so made and says I can't belive that these places don't have better choice for people! I feel like I am cheeting him and my little girl by not eating out he says were not But I would love to be normal and just go out or order out for pizza!!!! But your all right its better just to eat at home you can cook what you want you know what goes in it and your more comfortable... Its glad to know that I'm not alone. Just to go to the cabinet and pick out a snack cake or have a diet coke again would be wonderful!!!

Thanks for the tip about the gluten-free restaurants--I've never tried them for fear of garlic and onions! So many times I've asked for "no sauce, vinegar and oil only---no dressing," only to end up with essence of garlic and onions! A long time ago we went to Olive Garden with my in-laws, and I ordered plain pasta (that was before I went gluten free) with olive oil and fresh Basil. And they didn't have fresh basil---in an Italian restaurant!
I bet you're right about the marinade and basting liquids ---my "seared tuna" (that made me sick) had garlic in that. I am so ignorant of chef's cooking methods. And I have to learn to be more forceful when placing my order---AND--in rejecting the plate when they come to serve if anything looks doubtful. It's sometimes hard to tell, especially if the amount is small, and I get embarrassed to confront anybody.
Thanks again,
Calli

Totally different subject...but what part of NM do you live? Do you like it there? Were you born there? I have always thought about moving to the "land of enchantement"!

I totally feel the same way, it's gotten to the point I will only go to japanese restaurants because at least then there are multiple options, It is so disheartening to go what can I eat, versus what do I want, sigh...

Too funny if friends want to meet for dinner I always suggest japanese or chinese *steamed chicken and veggies* I know I cant go wrong. It was hard at the holidays including New years. I had to make stuff for me the night before. Baked sliced potato chips and lighty dip chicken nuggets in flour and bread crumbs. what a pain in the butt just to hang out with friends. As everyone eats motzarella sticks, fried foods, dips. And dessert!! I had a mixed berry apple sauce. Oh yum!!
But the best news is hubby must have felt bad. He called me today at work and suprised me. He stopped at whole foods (close to his work in NJ) and got me there fresh blueberry sorbet and a pint of purely decadent cookie and cream dairy free dessert   This has been the hardest xmas ever. And I love whole foods but there not close so I have been out of my stash since for several of weeks. So I am finally having a safe treat tonight

I wasn't born here, but have been here since 1976. I used to live in the country, which I liked better, until '92. Now I live near Albuquerque and my little town has been surrounded by highways and housing developments. So I don't like it as much now. I'm tired of the dry climate, high altitude, low humidity (I have extremely dry eyes), but I love the geology, the Pueblos, and the multi-cultural population.
The "enchantment" part is usually associated with the Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico, whereas Albuquerque is more "urban sprawl." But it's friendly here. New Mexico doesn't rank too high in wages and standard of living, but we're improving...and we have Bill Richardson, too.
