I was skeptical that the day would ever come, but it's arrived. Maybe it's a sign of maturity, or just another crazy result of our whacked economy, but whatever the reason, something peculiar is happening in my life ... I've started eating at home.
Crazy. I know.
Admittedly, the food's pretty good, but what's really weird is that moreso than saving money, my motive was just that I no longer enjoy the food I buy from fast food joints and restaurants. As of late, it's been disappointing. Maybe those establishments are secretly cutting down on seasonings to save money. Maybe I've tired of the same ol' entrees. Maybe reports of restaurant uncleanliness have subconsciously affected my appetite. I don't know.
I have noticed a few benefits to eating at home-cooked meals, though. It does indeed save money. (I thought that was just an old wives tale.) It challenges your creativity, and you get home earlier because you're not patrolling the city for vittles. Plus, I think I'm eating healthier, but how can you really tell?
What about you? Do you eat in or go out? Send me your recipes!

Eating out is expensive and overrated, in today's economy it's all about dining in! Cooking yourself is much healthier, and the leftovers from home cooking are much better than day old Ruby Tuesday, lol!
