Frustrating month

I haven't posted in the last month as I have been dealing with a lot of emotional feelings.

April sure isn't a good month for anyone with food allergies who eats in restaurants. It seems that April is the change the menu and challenge the food allergic people. My two favourite restaurants have both had menu changes and I haven't been dealing with these changes too well.

One restaurant added crab cakes to their menu and fry them in the same oil as all of their other fried foods so it means that most of the items I was having at this restaurant are no longer available to me. I have written an e-mail to this restaurant's head office because I don't think they realize how one food addition can change what was a safe restaurant into somewhere that it's very difficult to eat.

The other resturant has changed the sauce of two of their foods and this change has meant that two of my favourite meals are no longer available to me. I found out that miso paste has cottonseed in it so that upset me a lot. I have also e-mailed this resturant's head office because of the menu change and because their fryer oil is 100% vegetable, not a known oil just a mystery oil.

I know that restaurants need to change their menus now and again but this last month has been very hard because of what some people would say were little changes have resulted in an emotional roller coaster for me.

Now to see what responses I get from these e-mails. I will post the results and hopefully they will be good.
