Would it be nice to have lunch and dinner at the finest restaurant? All you need to do is wear your best dress and shoes, drive to that place, wait to be served at the table and watched your table manners.

Once in a month we have to go to the restaurant, fastfood or have a pizza delivery just to change our views about food. That's when I get so tired and bored and ...lazy to cook. Lazy's not the right word because I am not lazy. It doesn't fit my personality. I don't mind cooking and or planning of cooking and the stressful preparation. I love to cook!

I showed hubby a simple computation if ever we decide to have our lunch and dinner at the nearest local restaurant. How much he'll save from having to stay at home and have the family's meal. Then how much tip he gives the waitress. Tip Savings: $672/month. Imagine? Then computation of how much money is spent for groceries if we have our meals at home without going at the restaurant. Even if you double the amount of spending for groceries still is there's big amount of savings. Now you have to thank your MOM for having to suffer in the preparation and cooking, dishwashing, cleaning the pots and pans, cutleries, knives, and the kitchen.

There's a lot of work at the kitchen. People seemed not bother at all. They only see the food on the table, on the counter.

Sometimes MOTHER needs to be given that self importance, respect and gratitude. Saying thank you means a lot too, you know.

There, even Snoopy is hungry. Dogs are thankful too when they are fed with good food.

However, gourmet food is sometimes great maybe every two months or when the occasion calls for then it's best to visit our favorite restaurant.
