Eating in

I was noticing that my wife and I are not eating out as often as we used to. Sure, part of it is the economy; money is tight. But it is largely due to the fact that most of the restaurants are moving towards serving spicier foods that we either don’t like at all, or our stomachs can’t tolerate. More and more we find ourselves going to what USED to be a favorite restaurant only to find that the meal we had hoped to order is no longer on the menu, and there is nothing else on the menu that we want (or can) eat. This is both a bad thing and a good thing, I guess. Bad because it would be nice to be able to go out for a nice meal with the wife from time to time and actually enjoy the food and not be sick a couple of hours later from eating it, but good because it is saving us money by not allowing us to eat out.
