How often do you eat out?

Where do you eat?

hmmmmmmmmmm on average just once a month, in the summer I would say more......but it the dead of the winter...just to cold to go out!

We like Swish Chalet and its close to home.

Boston Pizza is awesome also.

Applebee's or the Outback Steakhouse are awesome. For take out we do either Chinese or Gaetano's pizza which some in the house love and some despise. I freeze it for later use...like brekkie.:-4

It varies for us depending on what all we have going on. It can be any where from not at all to twice a week. Our favorite place is Bonanza because I'm addicted to their salad bar.

It all just depends, but usually it's just once every two weeks. We usually eat Thai food or Dairy Queen. The only good places open at night in my town. But we do eat supper at church on Wednesday nights before Awanas, so that counts to I guess. :wah:

Simple answer - I don't (can't afford it, and don't trust these places anyway, to be hygenic). The last time I ate out was last August on holiday, and we could see into the kitchen, and keep an eye on things !

One time when we parked our car in the carpark of our local supermarket, we over-looked the kitchen windows of a pub/restaurant. We were horrified to see the kitchen staff playing football and 'catch' with bread rolls and other items of food, then putting them back in containers ready for serving to customers !!!!!! I appreciate that not all establishments behave like this, but it does make you wonder what goes on in the kitchens of these places, doesn't it ? :(

Cup of tea Spot???:wah:

We eat out about 3 times a week. We have a brilliant carvery down the street from us where you get a roast dinner for a fiver.

I love 'Subway' although that's more snack food.

We go to an Indian near us because we get discount.

Monday we are going to a Morrocan resturant. Anybody had Morracan food?

We go there every time i'm home and the Landlord is great at showing people round. It was the only pub for miles and they put an American and Canadian Air Force base either side of it during the war. God, the stories about the troops in that pub :wah: They take dogs now so we might stay there soon.

We go out to eat almost every friday evening. Either Abuelo's (mexican food), Carlos O'kelly's (mexican again), One of the many steak houses or the seafood buffet at the Hilton.





There, back on track....;)
