The old, "Honey, how much bleach do I use on your red blouse?" trick. Nicely played.

Next statement is for the girls--when your significant other retired and you were a stay @ home house maker, guess you still are working-you didn't get to retire

unless you trained him right

My wife would like you to know that she was never a stay-at-home house maker. She raised two kids while lacing up combat boots every morning for twenty years.

Stay-at-home wife retired when I did. She deserved it!

We go out for breakfast 2-3 times per month, lunch 3-4 times per week and dinner 3-4 times per week. We have been to over 315 different restaurants not counting fast food in the just over seven years we have been in TV. Some we return to often, some we will never return to and at least 47 have either closed or changed ownership.

My wife and I prefer to eat at home and we share the cooking, If I cook she cleans up and if she cooks I do the cleaning

As for eating out , Breakfast once a Month, Lunch we rarely eat, Dinner 2 or 3 times a year . The only exception is when were on vacation.

Fact #1: If my wife never had to cook again, she'd say it was a gift from heaven.

Fact #2: I'm the chef in the family, which means I like to cook, experiment, turn out pretty good meals, and can be a PITA when somebody else is cooking and doesn't practice "mis en place" :D

So, when golfing the 2nd wave, Subway take out, maybe twice a week. Know what we're eating and healthy. Dinner, maybe once a week. And not always "on campus". Have no problem driving to Disney Springs for Morimoto's or Blue Zoo. Good food is always worth the drive.

7 to 10 lunch and dinners. Dinner 5 nights

3 to 4 dinners per week, that may be lowered if waiting times get extended. I'm good for a 20 minute wait but that's about it. It won't be long before that will be hard to do so less eating out and more at home for the winter months.

We may eat out twice a month. Usually because we are out with friends. Since we try not to do nitrates, phosphates, sodium, additive‘s, or fried food it’s a little hard to go out. We eat 4 ounces of protein or less a day, and we have at least two meatless days per week.

We enjoy putting a good meal together and while we are by ourselves. When we are separated our meals become who’s is plated better, Best food combinations, and all in all tastes better it’s kind of a game between us. Pictures are texted back-and-forth routinely. Comes out pretty even as to who’s plate looks and taste better.

Best time was when my plate of eggs Benedict was absolutely perfect. Other half was running late and told me would send a picture soon. Didn’t take me long to figure out that eggs Benedict did not come out of our kitchen. Hands down I won that one.

I guess we are not the typical Villager. My husband and I both like to cook and I hate to brag but we have been told we are excellent cooks. We probably eat out about twice per month.

I can't say we're excellent cooks, but we don't eat out much either, for various reasons. Only when it will enhance a social occasion with a few cherished friends will we eat out--other than having LTBs (or whatever their BLTs are called) at Rae Rae's. And because we don't have 80 best friends, that kind of limits us...

But there are many restaurants in and around TV that I think Oh, we should go there.

Us too! Always passing a restaurant and saying "oh we should try that place" and we never do! Such is life in the fast lane.

Yes, so it seems, they are in good shape as far as we know, at least they are slim so we do not know how they do it but they do look good.
Another item, when we go on cruises, and we do too many, we do set down some rules. Lots of rules. Like no Pizza, no deserts, no ice-cream for starters.
It is not easy to do this. But have to keep the weight off.

Well, it's a good thing you avoid deserts. :) You could suffer from dehydration!

Myself: I usually avoid sweets.

I have to say I'm amazed at how often you eat out. But it begs the question: what are your favorite restaurants? For the sake of brevity, please limit it to thirty.
