I've made a decision. No more going out to eat
Lets face it. Its too darn expensive and I just plain cook better.
No more paying 16.99 for a steak that I coulda made a better one for 7.00
For instance, tonights dinner woulda cost 40.00 @ some fancy resturant. I made it for about 16.00
2 big ole tuna steaks grilled with onions, green peppers and red peppers. AND there is still another whole tuna steak left for lunch/dinner tomorrow.

Heck I stoped going out simply because it was not helping the fact that Im fat.
In the last few months I cut out all the fast food and 99% of the eating out and even without working out I dropped 17lbs already. Thats reason enough for me to not go get the big ol burger and frys at my local bar.

DQ Bacon, Mushroom, Swiss burger..... 
About the only "fast food" that I partake in. Not counting a quick delivery pizza. Yea I can make a better pizza cheaper, but my time is worth something... actually my time is worth alot. Way more than the $10 difference to double my time.
Yes I mean double, if they are fixing it while I'm doing what ever it is that I'm doing at the time, then 2 things are getting accomplished for me. Just doubled my productivity. Actually more because it takes me a 1/2 hour to prepare the ingrediants and another 45 mins to assemble and cook. I love a home made pizza when there is time.

I also enjoy the challenge of getting the food and putting together a great meal for my family. But every once in a while it is nice to go to a restaurant and have someone else do the work.
Not eating out is missing out on one of life's little luxuries IMO.

I am looking thinking you made this for 1 person as you still have a steak left. so figure it would have cost you 25 bucks at the restaurant, did you really save that much?
