Going Out To Eat
Ok I just ran into this the other day. M e and the hubs went out to eat ,so I wanted to get the 1egg special with hash browns it was the children menu dish , since I can't eat off the the ref menu now.. But the lady wouldn't let me order the kiddie stuff.. To me it's a waste of food off the adult menu. Does your doc issue a card to order off the kiddie menu.. do you bring home a doggie BAg... I tried to explain about surf and my new yummy but she didn't want to here it
