The other night, myself and my housemate (both on SW) went to some friends for dinner. They are aware that we are following new eating plan, and are slowly beginning to grasp what it's all about for us. We were following a green day and so when we arranged it we said that we could have as much carb as we wanted that day as long as it wasn't fried.
What do we get?
Chicken casserole with less than generous jacket spuds and five green beans on the side. When we pryed about the casserole it turns out it had wine in it, and some of the ingredients had been pre cooked in oil.
We tried not to visibly retaliate but safe to say it was a good job we had not had many syns each that day.
During the conversation it was clear that our friends felt bad for not really thinking it through and didn't realise exactly how many of our naughty things they were putting into the dinner.
I don't want them to feel like we have to dictate whats eaten when we got round there, and they seem happy to eat things that conform to SW values when they come here, but it puts us and them in a difficult position. I don't want them to have to get to grips with the whole SW plan just so that we can eat there once a month or whatever.
Anyone have any suggestions or been in similar situations?
