The Buffet is the best Bang for the Buck
I love the buffet! Today it's confusing where to go to eat. Staying home isn't as low cost as it used to be. A home of two people can easily spend 200 dollars on groceries per week if they're not penny pinching careful. So sometimes it is easier and cheaper to eat out. Of course, since the minium wage was raised, the prices of what used to be "cheap" food (ie: McDonalds and the fast food chains) isn't "cheap" anymore. When my sweetheart and I go to any drive-thru we know we won't get what we want without having 20 bucks at least. The value menu is gone. There is no more Dollar for a burger option. I gasped in horror when I realized that a large french fry is now $5.00. So I made sure to buy a bag of potatoes at the grocery store. They'll go a lot further.

Watermelon Pickles
I love cucumbers! I love them plain, with salt, with or without the peel (wash well if the peel is on to remove the wax from store-purchased ones), in vinegar, or in sour cream with dill. Sometimes, I only peel part of the cucumber, slice it down the middle, add a touch of sea salt, and munch away. Usually, I do NOT peel them - fiber is fiber, right?
