Back to Blogspot

Dear Friends, I have decided to work on the blog again. Is that good or bad? Let me know. I decided to turn my blog into a food and diet blog. Everyone likes food. I would like to post interesting links about health, nutrition, recipes, and diet. I would like my readers to write suggestions about their own ideas. Please make comments. I would also like to write about changes I would like restaurants to make that would help us all improve our diets. I am not a vegetarian, but I would like restaurants to add more QUALITY vegetables to their menus. Sometimes a Mexican restaurant may only include rice and beans as side dishes. I am sure that people in Mexico eat other vegetables, so I would like to see them add other vegetables to the menu. When I go to a seafood or steak restaurant, the only vegetables they seem to serve are potatoes and salad. I asked a waiter about this one time, and he said that people did not order the other vegetables that often. Well, that is probably because the vegetables were over boiled and just not that good and tasty. I know that they are not like a cafeteria, and they may not have a lot of choices everyday. Well, that means you may need to change the menu sometimes and have different vegetable choices on different days. I like the chalkboard menus with the daily specials. I live in Austin, Texas. Locally, I think that Threadgills, Trudys, and Bill Miller restaurants offer the best selection of QUALITY vegetable dishes with good recipes. Recipe is the clue. The restaurants have to be creative to make the vegetables appealing. Furr's Cafeterias and Luby's also have a good selection of vegetables. I am not a vegetarian, but I want to eat more vegetables when I eat out. But every restaurant should include a few vegetarian dishes. And these dishes need to be advertised, so that vegetarians know that this is a good place to eat vegetable meals.
