OUT TO DINNER???

April 17th, 2006 at 03:43 pm

Yep, DH and I went out to dinner on Saturday night. We had been so busy Saturday and then had to take DD3 and her friend to town for a youth group dance...so we decided to give each other dinner out for our Easter gifts.

We went to Outback...and it was so funny...we actually had to read through the menu and consider the side dishes...I remember a time when we would have known long before we got there because we had the menu's memorized from going so often...lol

It had been a couple of months since we'd eaten out...so it was a real treat!! We both enjoyed the meals (prime rib)

Then the bill came $46....and, tho neither of us felt any guilt, I did mentally consider how many home-cooked dinners that would have covered...but just for a fleeting second...cause we really did have a nice time.

    I can't help translating eating out bills to eating at home budget either.... Comes from my mom, she would do that too, not that we didn't go out, and we all enjoyed it.........but she did a good job teaching us what the amount would buy at a store, and how far she thought she could get it to go.
    I really do have a hard time with dining out these days........the food isn't usually as good as we can do at home, the service isn't always premium and the last time we were out , someone near us had a very cranky toddler.

    I am glad that you had a good time. My husband and I ate out Sat. night and he had prime rib too. Our bill was only $23 not counting the tips. It helps that we take our own drinks!! (brown bag plus diet sprite)

    I think about home cooked vs. dining out too, but the Outback Victoria Cut Filet......yuuuuummmmm! My favorite and there is no way I can duplicate it at home!
