I kind of forgot to update you on the end of our 30 Days of Not Dining Out, didn't I? We made it through most of the month, but things kind of fell apart during the last week or so. Still, two very important lessons were learned, and I feel that periodic restaurant bans will continue to serve us well in the future.
Lesson 1: Cooking is fun, especially when I do weekly grocery shopping and have food and recipes ready to go. I found it surprisingly relaxing to come home from work and cook dinner.
Lesson 2: I really prefer taking my lunch. A little bit of extra effort in the morning means I get to spend more of my lunch hour relaxing instead of fighting traffic on Bardstown Road. And it is of course cheaper and generally healthier. I even enjoy taking PB&J. How nice to open my desk drawer and have lunch ready for me whenever I'm ready for it!
In other news, I'm not sure what to do with Blog Tartare at this point. I love it (especially its background). But I don't keep up with updating it as well as I should, and I have too many other things going on elsewhere on the Interwebs. So I've started blogging about food - and everything else - over at volvita.com. You may wish to check me out there. One thing I might do is just cross-post the food-related entries over here. We shall see. But in the meantime you should come see me over there!
