Eat at Home

I have mixed emotions.  On the one hand I love eating out.  It reminds me of date nights long ago and not so long ago.  But on the other hand I'm grossed out.  I have heard and watched news reports (i.e., Primetime) on the neglect and just plain bad practices at restaurants.  Recently I viewed the photo circulating all over the net.  I'm sure you've seen it.  It makes all of our stomachs churn with disgust and it begs to ask the question why would this idiot think the public would find this funny?  Take a look around, Bub, ALL of us eat out and some of eat at fast food joints.  So to think up these kinds of disgusting things and then top our hamburger off with the lettuce you just stood in and then post them on the net can only prove that this person is truly an idiot but We, the People, may have some insight! 

Oh yeah, we really find this funny, Dude!

Do we really think this type of behavior doesn't go on?  I can't tell you the last time I went into a fast place place and my shoes haven't stuck to the floor!  I'm thinking that the employees would rather stand in lettuce and goof off than wipe down the place and keep it clean.  Just look at the floor in this photo AND what is sad is this isn't an isolated case....it could be anywhere!!!!  I'm totally grossing myself out here, Grainiacs.  I don't want to think this way.

On a happier note, Hubby and I went on a lunch date yesterday.  It is the best time to talk and spend time together.  We have so many distractions at home (and I'm not only talking about kids).  In my Rural, USA we have a chinese food buffet establishment.  We love going there because we can get in, graze around the feed trough, and get out.....fast.  Now before you think this is psychosomatic and I just grossed myself out because of the above photo, Hubby and I didn't talk about the photo or Burger King or shoes in lettuce or anything.  We had a nice lunch and talked and laugh and acted like we didn't have a care in the world.  Unfortunately we didn't feel so jolly that afternoon.  We didn't get sick but we sure didn't feel up to par.  I'm thinking it might be the MSG.  I hear it does a number on people.  So my next goal besides losing weight and cleaning the house and running for President-- just kidding on the Prez goal....no thank you! is to eat at home.  At least I know where my feet have been if I decide to stand in the lettuce and then place it on my hamburger, you know?
