When you can make restaurant quality food at home and you like the
atmosphere at home better (I have a beautiful wood paneled dining room
with french windows and doors), why go out?
These days, when we
eat out - it could be a spur of the moment thing, but it's usually a
planned dinner out with friends (waving at SteveP and ChrisD) or we're
on a "stay-cation", playing tourist on a day trip.
