I HATE MENUS!!!

I hate menus!! Literally hate them!
Let me start over- Every summer my boys go to a camp--Which means that I have to go over the menu since J has a gluten and carrot allergy. Do you realize how much stuff is hidden in menus? And it isn’t like I get the same cook every year. Some “cooks” are not really cooks, rather just hired help to cook the food, and they have no clue about allergies. Of course even if there is a “real” cook there that doesn’t mean anything. Last year the “real” cook, who actually knew what gluten was, got fired in the middle of the week because evidently she went crazy-literally. I was told she barricaded herself in the dining building and thought people were coming for her. They think she went off her meds- which isn’t comforting since my kids were there!!

But anyways back to menus. So I am reviewing the menu for this year…and it is full of pre-packed foods- which means more possibility for it to contain wheat/barley! I know it is easier for the cooks to prepare but come-on! The closest they come to home-made meals is a salad-bar…And that probably contains the packaged mixes of lettuce and whatever. They don't even have spaghetti on the menu this year.
I am just hoping that the “cook” I am emailing knows what he is doing. At least I will be at the camp for part of the week to make sure J gets what he is suppose to (and doesn't get what he isn't suppose to).
