2 PARTIES IN A ROW! Made it!

I made it through another party.  Whew.  This party was an intimate dinner party put on by two chefs.  Only 6 at the table so any food declines were sure to be met with suspicion.  However, I fretted for no reason.

Dinner began with a cold asparagus soup.  As soon as I tasted it, it was obvious potato was the thickening agent.  I had a couple of sips, ate the asparagus and then swirled my spoon around as we all chatted.  Bowls were whisked away.  No questions asked.

Next was an unusual appetizer of scallops and nectarines.  I ate the scallops but pushed the fruit away.  Didn't actually like the combination.  Again, no questions and lots of conversation going on.  So far everything is going smoothly.  Had I been asked, I'd have said I didn't like nectarines.

Dinner rolls, butter were passed around and I ignored the basket.  Dinner was BBQ'd lamb with a simple salad.  Yeah!  I am almost done.

Dessert was a pastry chef's dream but I passed.  I was offered a smaller portion and I simply said that I was way too full from the awesome dinner to eat another bite.

Ta da!!!!!  I got through yet another party the low carb way!  I feel so happy.
