Okay, so it's 8:30 on a Wednesday night. My husband is out of town. I'm too lazy to cook meals while he is gone, so this is what I've eaten today: breakfast - bowl of Crispix cereal; lunch - ham and cheese sandwich; dinner - one of those individual packets of oatmeal, the blueberries & cream flavor. And of course, some Easter goodies in between as snacks/treats. I'm starving. The kids are asleep. I'm starting to daydream about what I would like to eat. Unsurprisingly, it all has to do with restaurant food: The Café vegetable skillet, Great Plains pizza, West Street Deli turkey and ranch sandwich. I could go on and on. But, I can't leave the kids, and I don't feel like calling for a pizza. So, I guess I'll go raid the fridge (which is cold now, thank you very much) and try to find something that will "do."
So then, I started thinking about how often I eat out, and how often I would like to eat out if the budget was endless. And, I always like a gimmick, so I decided to do a new poll. How often do you eat out? And is there a restaurant that you always tend to go to, or is it something new every time? I love food stories, so don't hesitate to comment. If I can't have a Café Rio pork barbacoa salad, then I can still live vicariously through you.

yummy that salad looks great. Cafe Rio has the best salads. What dressing do you like?
Does subway count as eating out? or do you just count out eating at a nicer restaurant?
Let us know how the job interviews are going

I'm trying to make the pork barbacoa stuff next week--this made me want to try it sooner! I would love to eat out more as well, but I just can't justify it!!!
I hope you get to move back here for your Cafe Rio.
I just ate there on Monday. Yum. And I'm the one who eats out daily so far. Really, that's an average. Yesterday? Not at all. Today? All three meals.
Sad, but true.
We eat out once a week, but not expensive or anything. We're talking tolerating the golden arches so Ashton dear can climb to his heart's content without me fearing a trip to the ER. Do they have ER's in Fiji? Oh dear I should have found that out before I came.
And my culinary confession: I have stopped buying goodies in hopes of getting our family eating healthier. Except for that almost gone jar of Nutella hidden on the top shelf and the brand new jar next to it that I had to sneak behind the bread when going through the checkout today. That's got my name, and only my name, all over it.
I would have ordered a pizza with you last night! I love eating out as well...and it is usually something different. We make the rounds even though I do love Bajio on a regular basis.
Oh my mouth is watering!! I LOVE CAFE RIO...and unfortunately we are VERY far away from one. Sigh, at least we can eat there once a year when we go visit family! I wish we ate out more often also. I think it would be nice to veg a little more and not cook every single night. When we do go out (which is about once a month...maybe less) it is usually McDonalds or somewhere with a playplace....yikes...we need to get out more!
So sorry to all of you who don't have a cafe rio! That stinks! The pork is so yummy! We eat out about once a week, though our choices are REALLY limited (there are about 4 restaurants in town). Our new favorite is a mexican restaurant in town, but we also love this dive here too, they give you lots of food. It is nice to have a change, and not to cook.
We eat out once a week!! I Love to cook but this gives me a night off from cooking and then cleaning up~that is the part I detest doing. We tend to eat out at the same places because we know they are good. I love the Bombay house!!! Nothing is better than that and I never get sick of it!! We will miss that place once we move from here just like it sounds you miss Cafe Rio. Which I don't blame you it is good!!
I eat out more than I should. Sometimes I just really DO NOT want to cook. I will go eat out at lunch and then destroy the evidence so Jake doesn't find out...
I love eating out and dream about it all the time. I have a strange relationship with food. I sometimes destroy evidence of eating out also. so funny that we all think about it so often
