I used to cook at home most of the time with an occasional lunch out with a friend and breakfast out with some of the few family I get along with. Over the winter my out-eating has increased dramatically. I found a few mom & pop places with wonderful breakfasts and good prices. One of them is open for evening meals too and I occasionally go there. Plus I go to Old Country Buffet for breakfast occasionally and have started going for a dinner more often too. Get there before 3:30 pm and you get the lunch rates and that's $3 cheaper. And figuring that beverages and dessert are included it's a good value. Food varies. Certain days have more to my tastes. And it's clean and well maintained, unlike most buffets. I generally eat only one "meal" per day. Might have a snack or something at home, but seldom have more than one full meal in a day and I don't remember the last time I ate breakfast, lunch and supper! When I'm going to have a long day at work I like to get a good old fashioned breakfast and that lasts me the day with the exception of a possible snack later.

Whoops! I was reading all the responses, but I had to skip to the end. A big part of it all is I do not work and my husband does. No! No! No! Your husband works outside the home. You work at home. I would not realize this so strongly, except that for the first third of our marriage, I did not work outside the home where someone else paid me. Then for 19 years I did. Now I am back to working in the home. YOU DO NOT REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU DO WHEN YOU ARE AT HOME ONLY!

I love it when former members come back ! Wish I could remember what my user name was back then. I've been here for close to twenty years and on GW since the 90's. OutsidePlaying This is still GW and has it's own URL. It's just a part of Houzz, but separate, thankfully.

Plllog, if you let me know how you signed it, or where it's coming from, I will pass the information to Mom. We will have a great weekend! We show the antique hit and miss engines, the cast iron ones that have flywheels on them. It's been a family tradition since before my kids were born. Now the grandkids get upset if they can't go! It's our local show, and the only one any of them are usually able to go to. We all camp together, play with the engines, and there is a huge flea market to wander. Annie, thank you!
