Thanks for all the insight and advice guys.

Due to an ice storm here, we did not go out last night. It will be saturday.

I intend to do the shrimp ****tail and/or beans.  French onion soup sounded appetizing but soup just drains through the stoma, and there fore is not on the listed of approved foods (unless strained so i get the solids).

God forbid they dont have beans/hummus/or shrimp ****tail, then I shall do the french onion soup with cheese!

Thanks again for the advice.
