First Vacation with the Sodium Restriction

Not sure how well it will go, but if we can't find healthy restaurant food in the Pacific Northwest, we might as well give up all hope now. Normally on vacation, we eat fruit and trail mix for breakfast and lunch (not a sodium problem), hike all day, then go out and have a great dinner. I'll let you know how it works out in practice.

A Tiny Little Bite of Heaven

We went out tonight to a place where we know the owner, and he personally saw to my no-salt-added meal of salad, filet mignon, and mixed veggies. He even bought us a shot of Woodford Reserve on the house. All of that was great, but I did add one tiny little forbidden item to the night's consumption. PDM ordered a patty melt and the one little bite of it that I had was a very great pleasure. There are some foods that I miss more than others. I don't miss the fries like I thought I would, but that patty melt was pure flavor perfection. Rye bread (toasted), melted cheese, carmelized onions and a burger... I really miss those.
