Lately, for a small time, I have had to eliminate raw vegetables from my diet. This had been a tricky thing I am realizing. I went to St. George for a conference and did not have much control over where I could obtain food. When we first arrived to St. George it was around 2pm, and I had not had lunch yet. I was STARVING, and didn't have access to a car at the moment. I walked to Burger King which was across the street. When I got there, I just looked at the menu and wondered what could I eat. I did not want to spend $4 on a small piece of chicken, having to throw away everything else from the chicken burger. I realized that my motel room had a microwave. So I ordered the chicken salad (with no dressing - which is hard for people to accept at times) and took the meal back to my room. I put the salad in the microwave for 2 minutes, and "wala" a meal I could eat. It really wasn't that bad, and the vegetables were cooked. I think though if I had to do it again, I would ask Burger King to cook the salad for me. I would have loved to have seen the expression on their faces. Who knows, maybe this could start a new trend for others as well.
