I am writing this blog and I am not hungry at all, just for all of you out there wondering. We have been eating out quite a bit as of late. Let me explain.
It is hard to go to the store, fill your cart and then realize that you have to cart all these items up 38 steps. My calves rock at this point. My lungs and my asthma now that is the killer.
So going to the store has taken on new meaning for that reason as well as the following:
1 pan in the furnished apartment
No pantry to grab the items that one never buys but knows are always in the cupboard
Four plates, four spoons, four forks, you get the idea, you want to eat you have to clean your plate from the meal before.
I know, you all say get paper plates, well easier said than done, cause you have lots of trash that way and the trash is a car ride away and yeah.
So eating out is easier most of the time. However we are all tired of this. I know you ask me anytime and eating out is always the option I would take.
We have not even eaten out at that many places. I mean we are so anal we even eat in an order.
No I take that back we are cheap.
Monday is Dickie's Bar Ba Que night. 5.00 pulled pork sandwich, side, and a drink. The onion tangler's are Jeff and Robyn's favorite, taste like a blooming onion only little pieces. My favorite side is the baked potato casserole. Mashed pots with bacon and chives and it rocks.
You also get ice cream for free at the end. Nice way to end a Monday.
Tuesday is Chick fil a. Right down the road and we can get a sandwich and fries or a kids meal and a side salad. If you get the kids meal and do not like the toy you can trade it in for a huge ice cream. Always clean and people are always overly nice,
Wednesday we usually eat at the apartment. Most weeks it is tacos and chips and salsa.
Thursday: Mellow Mushroom love this place and they make a olive oil and garlic rub that they put on instead of tomato sauce and portabello mushrooms. Love this the crust is like bread sticks. Jeff gets red sauce to dip his in. The place has a giant light bright with Brett Farve on the wall. So fun. TV's all over and very relaxed.
Friday We eat at home cause everybody else is eating out tonight.
Saturday and Sunday we eat where ever.
There are no grocery stores here. They do have a walmart which is so crowded it is too difficult to drive too and the shelves are always half empty.
There is a store corner market, they are very expensive and I am not impressed. The pasta sauce is almost 8.00 a jar. Give me a break.
So I am on a mission to find a nice farmers market and other areas to get meat etc. Target has most of the food that we need on a daily basis minus the veggies and fruit and meat. I have to work this area. I am so looking forward to having a kitchen and being able to cook dinner. I am looking forward to left overs. I know I can't believe I just said that.
