Most of what I do eat is prepared at home, I go out on my own or here and there with my family. My mom does the bulk of the grocery shopping but I do a lot for myself because there are certain things that I like that she won’t buy or stuff that I just want. Going out to eat is more of a treat or to give my mom a break from cooking. I’d say as a family we go out to eat once a month even if that, its kind of rare but we always go out for birthdays. As of today we went to The 99 because we were in the process of fixing our oven so instead we went out for the night. It was a nice meal, only a few others were there because some of my siblings were working but nonetheless it was a good meal with my family. I got a Southwest Fajita Shrimp bowl and it was new to their menu so I figured I’d give it a try. It had rice, beans, corn, salsa, guacamole and of course shrimp with a chipotle sauce. It was really good, usually when I go out to eat the portions are too much for me and I have to take the rest home. This was a first time in a long time where I didn’t have any leftovers. Overall, going out to dinner is definitely more of a luxury in my family and I know that some families do more take out because of not having time or being able to cook. I appreciate that I can have homecooked meals while having opportunities to go out once in a while to have something a little different for a meal than usual.
