[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony of your post is that I cut back on dining out big time in the last four years despite record illegal immigration. It sure didn't make dining out less expensive!

I'm an excellent home cook so whenever eating out I couldn't avoid the reality that I was paying the equivalent of half the week's grocery bill for one perfectly pleasant but not amazing meal. So I stopped the habit of takeaways and eating out and never looked back. Do eat out when traveling (and get tired of it soon enough) but otherwise at home I cook every day. And it's no big deal because I do enjoy it. And I cook everything from traditional American to French and Chinese and Middle Eastern so we have plenty of variety. By the way, once I sharpened my skills on Chinese at home, takeaway Chinese the few rare times I have it at a friend's house is always overly salty/greasy/oily/sweet.

What's also not "worth" it to me is a big expensive prime rib roast. We had the annual Christmas rib roast and it was nice but it's still a big boring expensive piece of meat. I'd much rather have had something else.

Was going to say— meat is no longer worth it to me because it’s so expensive. Vegetarian ingredients— especially legumes and grains, are so inexpensive in bulk that I can splurge on fantastic produce.[/quote]
