I Ate Italian!!!!

I ate my first Italian food, with real red sauce (meat sauce, at that!) since August 2010.  It was a plateful of lasagne at Olive Garden.

I hadn't eaten anything with red sauce or cheese for over three years because those things had been forbidden on my renal (kidney) disease meal plan.  But the last time I saw my nephrologist and dietitian I got all whiny and told them I didn't think I could go my entire life without eating those things ever again.

I am of Italian heritage and I grew up eating sauce at least twice a week.  I got tired of eating pasta with butter and garlic every time I was with people at an Italian restaurant.

So they both caved and told me I could occasionally enjoy an Italian meal.  This was my first one...and as you can see...I really enjoyed it!!!!
