I used to find it hard to justify going to a restaurant and forking over
my hard earned money for a meal I could cook at home for a fraction of the
cost.


So I used to peruse the menu for something that I wouldn't make at home
because it was too time consuming.

Then there were the restaurants that when you ordered the meal, they used
to being out *HUGE* plates with this tiny portion sitting smack in the
middle.
It'd suit me down to the ground now, but back then, I was a healthy eater.
We left that place and went to a local takeaway food place for a 'fillup'
meal.
