That was before my career change from executive management to public elementary school teacher and subsequent enrollment in graduate school. Now we eat out (maybe) once a week. There really is no such thing as lunch for me. I'm a lot happier, I've lost 20 pounds, and I have more family time with my young kids. I've traded money for happiness so it's all good :)

I tried to do the money for happiness thing, give something back to the community, etc. Well, it last all of about six months. I actually got fired from public service. I guess not being a self congratulating incompetent meant I didn't fit in. My friends did say I lasted longer than expected. I think some money changed hands around the four month mark.

Oh well, back to the moolah.

I'd trade money for happiness but food and wine make me happy and I need money for that. (not that I have a lot, but I know I spend MOST of my~discrectionary~money on food/wine)

A statistic quoted on local talk radio this morning asserts that New Orleanians eat out an average of 3.6 times per week.

I voted 4 times or fewer. I do pick up meals for dinner probably 8 times a month or so.
Our biggest problem is that the kids are too young to bring out and adding a $30 baby sitting bill to the night's tab gets expensive real quick.

being in the restaurant business, at least one meal a day is comped, so that would be a daily thing. on days I don't work? I go out and get a meal. so I could say seven days a week. Do I ever do two spots in a day? rarely. I relish trying new spots, and there are many I haven't tried. I love to read forums about places, especially I haven't been to.

Love Jacque Imo's. thats a treat, so is Commanders, and Red Fish Grill. Love the Rivershack, and believe it or not? roly poly. just love the variations they offer.

can never get enough oysters... always lookin for new places on that note...
