If You Can't Peel It, Boil It, Cook it, Forget It!

The first rule of travel, or pretty high up there anyway.  I'm just recovering from my second bout of.. Montezuma's, Travelers, whatever you might call it.  Up all night Sunday and in the bed most of the day on Monday- weak and lethargic. 


 I'm sure it was the "salad" which came with the grilled fish I ate Saturday night. Chopped cabbage with a few slivers of tomato, maybe some onion with a dollop of creme sauce, seemingly innocent, but those raw vegetables, even though I didn't eat that on my plate,  can wreak havoc .


If you're not eating at a reputable place like in a hotel or good restaurant and don't know for sure that the cabbage has been washed in vinegar or salt water, don't eat it--or so I was advised. Even with great care, problems can occur.


Because of the high carb content diet, I am constantly seeking a vegetable supplement,  usually in cooked form though.  All veggies will definitely be cooked before being eaten from this point on.
