I want to recommend a wonderful restaurant in downtown Nashua, NH.  I've 
eaten at the Black Orchid twice.  The first time, a good friend (who is 
very conscious of my difficulties eating out and very caringly makes 
sure I am accommodated for "girls' nights out") called ahead and asked 
if they had GF dessert for me.  The restaurant offered to make me a 
flourless chocolate cake, which was out of this world.  Last night, I 
ate out with my husband and other friends.  My husband called ahead to 
make sure they could serve me a full dinner.  They were pleased to help 
me.  When I arrived, the waitress showed me everything on the menu I 
could eat, what they could and could not modify for me.  Because we 
called in advance, they even set aside some rice for me, in case I 
decided to order that.  The evening's rice was to contain a broth that 
would have been unsafe for me.  (I actually didn't order rice, but was 
thrilled that they had thought to do that.)   My options on the menu 
were almost overwhelming to me.  I very rarely have access to just about 
a whole menu of food and I'm sure you can all identify with that!  There 
were very few things that Black Orchid couldn't adjust for me.  The 
waitress even pointed out the fried calamari made without wheat that I 
plan to try next time...

I am very hopeful that eating is about to get much easier for us after 
discovering Betty Crocker's GF mixes this week and now the Black 
Orchid.  It seems that people are so much more aware of Celiac than they 
were when I was diagnosed 7 years ago. 

Thank you to everyone who sent me positive responses about my Betty 
Crocker posting.  Happy eating everyone!
