Eating out

With fewer kids to feed, we've been taking advantage of eating out.  Tuesday evening we ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant in town with just Catherine and Robert.  While I miss Thomas terribly, I enjoyed the quiet, "older" conversation.  Catherine left that evening, and then last evening we only had Robert.  We returned to our former town to purchase a new stove (another story altogether), and decided to eat out again.  We love the Mexican restaurant there, but weren't interested since we'd eaten it the night before.  Since we've moved however, we haven't been able to find decent Chinese food...the little place in our former town is the best!  We decided to take advantage of being in town, and it works out especially well since Robert LOVES Chinese food, and is the only one of our kids that does.  As soon as we each took our first bite, we all agreed we were thrilled...it tasted exactly as we had remembered it...and exactly as it was supposed to taste.  It was so good!  Now we have plenty of leftovers, including some from the Confirmation lunch over the weekend, and tonight and tomorrow will be eating things at home that are already here!
