What a fun labor day weekend!! We spent half of Sunday and most of Monday at my brother and sister-in-law's house in Athens, along with my mom and dad. We had a great time. I did, however, forget to mention to Nathan and Kasey that I had started eating a mostly vegan diet. They were quite surprised when I told them, but I assured them that I would make do. Lilly and David ate the food that everyone else ate and did just fine (except that now Lilly is a bit stopped up now that we are home). I had a banana, peanut butter, walnut and honey wrap while everyone else ate hamburgers and hot dogs. I felt perfectly ok with that. The one thing I wished I could have had was the home made ice cream. I had a teeny taste, and that was enough for me. Ice cream has given my stomach fits for as long as I can remember, so I knew it would be a really bad idea for me to eat it.
On the way home, I started to worry. What was I going to eat when we stopped for dinner??? We wanted to eat quickly, so we wanted fast food. I am not big on salads (go figure), so I wasn't sure what I was going to do. Thankfully, my mom shared a little secret with me! Burger King has veggie burgers!!! So, we passed Logan (which had no BK off the hi-way), and headed for Lancaster. We got to BK and I saw no veggie burgers on the menu. I started to worry. Thankfully, when it was our turn, I asked the nice girl behind the counter and she said "Yes, we have veggie burgers!" So, friends, don't always rely on the menu for what you need. ;)
Surprisingly enough, the BK veggie burger is quite delicious!!! I liked it even more than the Boca Burger (of course, I don't know exactly what was in it). It had decent sized chunks of veggies in it and was very flavorful. It was big and I ate it all. :D
So, I'm happy to report, that if you must eat and run, that BK has a decent option. You could even get apple wedges on the side and ice water to drink. Perfection!
