What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Tomorrow will be an adventure: I'm having a date through a dating site and after me mentioning low carb and him mentioning preferring vegetarian we decided to do the shopping and cooking together to cater to both of our preferences, followed by beer and whisky.
Good luck with both the date, and the shopping. As with most things, a little bit of compromise goes a long way.
