\ud83d\ude09&nbsp; I ordered the Turkey Burger with mushrooms, Swiss &amp; avocado on top with a side of fries and a salad.&nbsp; That was the first time I had fries in close to a year!&nbsp; Carb loading &amp; fries go hand-in-hand.&nbsp; Heidi had the Cheeseburger in Paradise (I think) and fries.&nbsp; She was very pleased to see fries on the gluten-free menu.&nbsp; Want to see a picture of us?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/glutenfreeislife.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/10\/0071.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom:0;border-left:0;border-top:0;border-right:0;\" border=\"0\" alt=\"007\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/007_thumb1.jpg\" width=\"258\" height=\"338\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Heidi, it was so great to meet you!&nbsp; Thank you so much for the bottle of wine &amp; green salsa.&nbsp; One of these days I will be able to drink that wine.&nbsp; Must stop taking cold medicine first. \ud83d\ude09&nbsp; Please let me know the next time you will be in town.&nbsp; Maybe I can make you dinner!
