I just finished a meal of left-over Turkey Tetrazzini from a lunch a couple of days ago. Normally I eschew any left-overs and turn my nose up like Oprah with a private chef. But being unemployed has a certain cause and effect on the luxury of eating out. Mostly it is just effect, I shouldn't t eat out.
There was a strange phenomenon I noticed after finishing the Tetrazzini, I was full. Usually I think I'm just full after a nice meal of sushi, or 5 Guys Burgers and Fries, or Chinese food, or... well, the list is long.
My boyfriend's family has eaten out for years. They've raised entire
generations of children who don't know what a pot or pan is, or have
never actually turned an oven on, other than to dry socks when the
clothes dryer broke, so it really makes the situation hard. My family
has eaten out more over the last year than I think we ever have, and
coming off that in the throes of unemployment is hard, like when the
doctor told me I had to give up coffee, chocolate, peppermint,alcohol and tomatoes. Huh? Did he just pick the 5 most important foods in my life randomly or was he serious?
