The restaurants aren't as good as when the country club ones were started and run by the Morses directly. That is very true. The cost to eat out is really high now and that and the not wonderful food has made us continue to cook at home that we started during the pandemic. It is a common problem not to be able to employ help for the kitchen or as servers. (EVERYWHERE...in every state and nook and cranny.)....... I have my view as to the cause of that too.
I have found that Villagers are generally careful with their money, no matter how much they have, and that may be the reason they have it. After the pandemic we went to Arnold Palmers to get one of their delicious grilled over the open fire cheeseburgers with brie. They now cost twenty five bucks, are not cooked over the open fire, no brie and an hour wait.
We eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and lower fat and we can control our portions better if we eat at home and fifty years of cooking has made us pretty good cooks and savvy shoppers.
