Do You Find When You Go Out To Eat...........?

17 years ago

Do you find when you go out to eat at certain places you always end up ordering the same thing? I have tried different things when we get food from Bob Evans, but I always go back to the half sandwich combo. I always get the loaded baked potato soup, half pot roast sandwich and a large unsweet iced tea. Daughter Amber does the same thing, she always gets the salad with the cranberries and chicken in it. Does anyone else do this?

Sure, if I find something I really like.
Don't mess with perfection.

When do you plant out and how do you do it?
Q
Comments (5)
I am a slave to the weather channel. We have it on first thing in the morning, and I always look at the weekly outlook- highs & lows. Once the temps start staying above 40 or so at night, I start the plant-out (this is a personal thing, as I see that recluse uses 30. I don't have enough info to know which ones are hardy enough to take the lower temps, so I just use 40+) If the temps dip after that, I'll toss a cloche over them for the night. I also like to use the 15-day forecast over at accuweather.com, but obviously if the weatherman can't get it right for 2-days out, it's unlikely that they really know the 15-day outlook. But I'm only looking at the temps, so knowing that the earth's orbit is relatively stable (wink), I can rest assured that they may at least have THAT part pretty close. Planting out: It depends how thickly I sowed them. Unlike recluse, I "sprinkle and go" with many many containers. This might mean entirely too many seeds in a container, but I've found that it makes for a good show when planted out HOS. If I got super-good germination and a totally green container because I sowed WAY thick, I'll do WAY small HOSs. Some of my annuals like Marigolds and Zinnias I don't do HOS, but most things I do. They can duke it out after they're in the ground. HOW you plant out is very much relative to how detail-oriented you are. If you're very specific about how you do things, it may throw your whole world into an uproar to try and do a plunk 'n run technique. Of course, depending on how many containers you got out there, you may find yourself plunking, running, and drinking heavily due to the stress of HAVING to do it at some point ;)

Glenda, we are leaving Feb. 7th. and doing the Western Caribbean and thinking about booking the same ship on the 14th. and doing the Eastern Caribbean. This is our good time to get away and we are flying into Florida so the airfare will cost the same if we stay one week or two. We have already been to all the ports we will visit, but we don't care. Are you leaving from Florida and what cruiseline? I would say to have a good time, but I know you will. But I will say it anyway, have a good time and enjoy your cruise.

Eat-in kitchen: do you eat at an island? Do you like it?
Q
Comments (41)
Before we remodel we struggled w/ this issue. In the end we made a bigger investment so that we could eat at a table & have an island. I am very glad we did. I almost always choose to have our family dinner at the table-- it seems so much more civilized and relaxed and an improtant time for our family of four to be/dine together -- which is only 3-4 times a week. When we sit at the table there have been so many improtant discussions that take place. They are critcal teaching moments for our teenage children. Also I am a stickler for table manners & it is hard to do that the island. Lunch & Breakfast happens at the island. FYI- We increased the kitchen floor plan byremoving diningroom wall & absorbing that space into our kichen plan. The dining room furniture then moved to share space with our oversized living room. Two years later- I am sooo happy we did this.

What do you order when you eat out at a restaurant?
Q
Comments (34)
Depends on the restaurant and what they do well. From a burger joint to greasy spoon to fine dining I eat what I happen to like at the particular place. I will drive out of my way for that special something. Even simple things like that special burger or clubhouse sandwich (where they use real roast turkey, not the deli stuff). I never order salad unless they make an exceptionally good taco, fresh fruit fruit or seafood salad. My friend and I were recently talking about the wonderful fresh fruit salads diners used to serve. They were huge and sometimes served in a pineapple bowl. Other times on a plate, sometimes with canned pear halves or peaches added alongside the huge mix of fresh fruit.. Always a choice of sherbet or cottage cheese. One place even added a square of jello to the plate. I don't understand people who order basic bacon and eggs when several variations, chops, steak, linguica, omelettes and scrambles are offered. Same with grilled chicken breast. Why? I do eat things I can fix at home but that DH doesn't like. Like liver and onions or lamb. I'm a veal piccata person he likes parmigiana.

Sue, I do exactly as you do at Bob Evans. The half pot roast sandwich and soup. I love that pot roast sandwich at Bob's. At any other restaurant, I rarely order the same things over again. Just at Bob's and that pot roast sandwich. Did I mention that I love that pot roast sandwich at Bob Evans?

We have a little pizza place in our neighborhood, that we go to quite frequently.

We always get the same pizza and I always get the same salad.

There are those places I ALWAYS order the same thing, cause I love it, and there are places where I try new/different stuff.

Depends on the restaurant.

I sure do. I walk in and the waitress knows exactly what I want at many of the places where we eat. Hubby will occasionally throw them a curve and order something different.

It's a good thing I don't get a full pot roast sandwich. I would probably make myself sick eating it. I just love it. I know what you mean Gazania, so good. Now if I am eating at Logan's, I usually get the baked sweet potato, and that chicken with the melted cheese on it. I haven't been there for awhile.

Yes. We have a family restaurant in the area whose cook really knows how to make Eggs Benedict, with fresh Hollandaise ...and its my favorite meal.

I always order it.

Some of my favorite places, I don't get to eat at very often. So I always order what I know I love, which is why that spot became a 'favorite.'

Yes, that's why I go there. I go to Olive Garden for the Salad, bread sticks and lasagna. I go to Logan's for a fillet. Chili's for chicken fajita, etc...

Yes, I definitely do this with a couple of places. Some things are so good that I just can't pass them up.

Linda, I walk in to CiCi's Pizza and the cook puts on a ham and cheddar with Zesty sauce, so I can have a hot one, with a puddle of cheese in the middle. Umm good.

There is a restaurant here that serves a wonderful strawberry and spinach salad and a sandwich. They have about a dozen or so different types of sandwiches and I have the salad with a different sandwich each time I go. I think it is just an excuse to have the salad.

DH and I always order the same pizza from our favorite place: Medium thin crust S.O.S. (sausage, onion, spinach).

If I'm eating out I usually order something I'm not going to fuss over making at home. I like my own hamburgers, steaks, chops, chicken, etc.

I'm a slow eater, and I can't eat much all at once, so those lunches of a cup of soup or small salad and half a sandwich (maybe egg or tuna salad on whole wheat) are *plenty* for me. I never have room for the 'sides' of slaw or fries or chips.
