Oh-- Sorry, I'm an idiot. I just remembered you're vegan. Eating out, for me, is not too difficult with a little thought. You might be right that for you it will be impossible. Most of my strategies for eating out involve eating the plain meat dish. That won't work for you. I'm sorry I forgot this-- I know it's a big part of your identity. I'm kind of stupid this weekend because I've been pretty sick. I keep losing track of what's going on. Sorry about that.

Also very sorry for your discovery about nightshades. Sounds like a big frustration for you given your food preferences. I hope you discover plenty of ways to deal with it. Unfortunately it sounds like my experiences won't be too helpful to you since our preferences for diet are so different, now that I think about it. But it looks like you have other people on your friends list with experience with this sensitivity, so I am glad to see you have resources.
