I consider myself to be very adventurous in the kitchen,
and seldom eat out. Maybe once per month if that, and it's planned...

When I DO eat out, I like to try things that I've not tried before. ;-)

I find being adventurous at home to be less expensive as a general rule,
with the notable exception of those delectible 3-4 count shrimp we
bought for Sunday dinner a couple of weeks ago!

Worth every penny of the $50.00 I paid for 8 of them.

Served with sauteed fresh Shitakes on the side, and lemon butter with
steamed rainbow chard.

It was enough food tho' to serve 2 meals for the two of us. ;-)

Sorry!
