>>>Fried potatoes, fried eggs, fried onions and mushrooms, clam puffs, haddock and added to most any greens sure improves the flavor.<<<
Sure are making me hungry!
Tasty, satisfying meals, cooked to my liking-any wonder I prefer eating at home. A few years ago, hubby and I frequented an “upscale” restaurant. As they were above serving “fried” foods, I settled for baked haddock and baked potato. I received the thin end of a piece of haddock cooked to a crisp and was charged $20.00. For this I could have fed my whole family two meals of haddock cooked properly.
Recently, I observed to hubby that whereas food prics had risen dramatically in the last year, I was spending no more for my food budget than I had for the last several years and in fact, I am stocking my pantry more than in the past. We are eating out much less often, and, as we age, we are eating less (and seemingly gaining more????) and our appetite for rich, expensive foods has diminished.
With a little planning, I find we can have delicious, semi-healthy meals with money left to stockpile for emergencies.
By the way, do hope your tag line comes to reality.
