[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good food. I love fresh berries, so I buy them all year. Real maple syrup. Real cheese from the cheese shop. We only use 15yr + balsamic from Zingerman’s. Honey and eggs from local farms. I buy jam from Sqirl. I get bread fresh at a bakery. I buy birthday cakes from a real bakery, not Safeway, even for a bunch of 3yr olds. We use Kerrygold butter and Maldon salt. I make my kids cookies with Droste cocoa and valharona chocolate.

I’d rather eat a little of something amazing than a bit of something blah. [/quote]

Why buy birthday cakes anywhere rather than making them yourself?[/quote]

Easy. I value my time at $60/hr and I cannot bake a 4 layer 1/2 sheet chocolate mousse cake and decorate it with fondant Paw Patrol characters in 2-3 hours. I go to lots of BD parties (2 preschoolers) and parents never eat. Parents eat at my parties because the food and desserts actually taste good.

Why do people ever go out to eat when they could cook at home? I go out to eat because sometimes it’s fun to eat something that I didn’t work to prepare and is more complicated and beautiful than I am capable of. [/quote]
