Why give over the slicing, the simmer, and the sizzle to a stranger? Get intimate with your food. Cook it yourself.

Not sure if this one made the list yet, but it is so nice to have peace and quiet and actually be able to hear my dinner companions. Being deaf in one ear, and thus having a difficult time hearing people in loud rooms, this one is especially important to me. “It’s so nice to hear what you’re saying.” Not sure if this one made the list yet, but it is so nice to have peace and quiet and actually be able to hear my dinner companions.

Be it yummy baked goods or having ppl over for a holiday feast, food's just as good, if not better, than another pair of socks or a charm bracelet, right? As long as it's not fruitcake... hey cathy :)

I'm Broke! I used to enjoy Sunday Brunch with the ladies but when I think about the fact that I will be paying for that mediocre to borderline crappy service for the next 40 years, I cringe! It's been replaced with dinners at friend's houses that happen to be in culinary school so I get to reap the benefits! And its cheap! :) Grad School! I’m Broke!

It's a challange!!! ...(and thats kind of an understatement) Being a sophisticated and adventurous eater before the two boys hit the scene I was sure that I could simply carry on with them in tow and that way I could make them into sophisticated and adventoures eaters themselves... I just didn't take into account the attention span of toddlers but what really killed it for me was trying to deal with all the dirty looks of everybody else. Looks that said: "If you don't have money for a babysitter then don't eat out!". So after a few of those mortifying experiences we started creating adventures and fabulous dinners at home. Who cares if I breast-feed while munching on my lamb chops or if the boys yell, laugh, play, fight or smear the sauce all over themselves. It was a hard one for me to sacrifice but for right now I understand that amazing meals at home make much more sense then being uncomfortable outside...

Has anyone ever stopped to think about how many people handle YOUR food before it's set before you? I worked in the Food and Beverage industry for many years, both front of the house and back, from Fine Dining to Family styled Restaurants, from Server into Management and have seen it all. Ahhhh the tales I could tell about some of these places, but, I won't. All I will say is, that even in Fine Dining there are people who are not particular about hygiene and THAT is probably the best reason NOT to eat out. Germs!
