Wanted to go to the local Easter brunch. Checked out the menu:
Here’s our menu for the buffet –
** carving, waffle, and omelette stations
**8 types of salad
** Eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs
** french toast bake
** bacon, sausage
** smoked trout crepe
** roasted chicken with mushroom risotto
** black and blue beef wellington
** orecchiette pasta with Sicilian lentil sauce
** roasted vegetable medley
** shaved Brussels sprouts with prosciutto and cranberry
** Duchess potatoes
** white truffle mac-n-cheese
** seafood gumbo
** chicken & wild rice soup
** breakfast pastries and assorted desserts
I can have absolutely nothing whatsoever on this menu before my surgery. Which is in July.

If it is not an unwelcome violation of your privacy, what kind of surgery are you scheduled for in July?

Gallbladder. I have gallstones. So now I have to be on a strict low-fat diet. I can’t look at fish any because that’s all I’ve been eating.

Ask your doctor if he (she?)’ll let you keep a few of the gallstones after the surgery. They make attractive conversation pieces if you set them in a little dish on your coffee table.

That’s a great idea. I’d love a way easily to get rid of visitors.

Why couldn’t you have the roasted vegetable medley?

I’m sure they are going to have either onions or bell peppers. And I can only eat them raw because I can’t abide the mushiness. I’m very weird.

I hear you on the mushiness (I thought they would upset your stomach). I can’t eat many fruits (especially ripe) without getting a stomach ache (apples, pears, grapes; bananas kill me); I apparently have issues processing the sugars. Green fruits are OK, berries are always OK, as are apricots.
People’s digestive systems are weird.
