Dinner on Day 3
Carissa asked us if we wanted to go to McDonald's with her family tonight to celebrate Lillian's graduation from kindergarten--yeah! But as soon as I said yes, the fear set in...How would I know what was gluten-free there? But no fear, Carissa downloaded an App on her phone that tells what menu items at each fast food joint are gluten free! Isn't that nice! My plan was to order a salad with grilled chicken--but guess what? That is not g-free! But the Caesar salad alone is g-free, and the double cheeseburger without the bun is g-free--so that is what David and I ordered. We cut the double burger in half, then each cut it up in pieces to scatter on the two salads. It worked great although we later agreed we would have liked the full double burger on each of our salads. So next time we wont share the burger. The cost of the salad and the cost of the bun-less burger was still less that the cost of the salad with grilled chicken.
None of us could figure out what McDonald's does to the grilled chicken to render it NOT gluten-free as you would expect. I have heard that their French fries is coated in flour to make them crispier--so they are not g-free either.
Overall, I was happy with my meal, and did not feel deprived. I am not sure David felt that way--he is still grieving the loss of burgers in his life...poor guy.
