Dining out responses

I think it is interesting some of the responses I get when I eat out while traveling.  When I am home I make a breakfast that includes oatmeal with granola, fruit and almond milk, plus I have some egg whites and maybe some turkey sausage.  It is really hard to order something similar while traveling.  What I have done is basically order breakfast for two.  I order a oatmeal and fruit breakfast plus an egg breakfast of some kind.  I do not eat all of both breakfasts but some of each. 

One morning I ordered both the oatmeal/fruit breakfast plus an egg-white spinach cheese sandwich breakfast.  When the food was delivered, I asked for some water to drink.  The waiter brought back two glasses of water expecting someone else to join me.  When I mentioned that it was only myself that was eating, the waiter’s expression was priceless.  There was a double take, almost a complete “are you kidding me” response.  I just smile and think, yes it is all for me.  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Another time I ordered breakfast at a bagel shop.  I ordered a turkey sausage, egg and cheese sandwich plus bagels and lox with juice.  When the food was delivered, I was asked if I wanted a to go box before I even started eating.  I just smiled with a no thank you.  I was hungry that morning and ate all of both.  I have to start the day with a great foundation.
