"If the deli seems smelly and the fast food tastes rude The time has come to cook your own food " - have to agree here!

Greasy latkas on a kosher plate, today at noon--don't be late!

A kosher plate. Hahahaha! Reminds me of a ham sandwich with a kosher pickle. ~ Tickle-tickle

Unfortunate when meeting friends to endure all sorts of unpleasantness in a restaurant they chose. Smelly cleaners, lipstick on wine glass, poor service.

Kind of an offbeat little write I thought. Thanks for the feedback, Ilene!

Gershon Your advice is fantastic. I realized while reading this that a handmade dinner is a hundred times better than fast food. Furthermore, cleanliness is critical!

The quality is poor,the service worse sometimes Montezumas' curse.To add insult to injury,then the bill arrives...... Sister and friend picked up chicken salad and were food poisoned over the weekend.Best eat at home.

Chicken salad, potato salad, and egg salad - I stay away from all three, after working my way through school in restaurant kitchens. Hope your sister's ok!

Covid should have gotten everyone back into the kitchen. I’m amazed at how much some folks spend on food

I'm amazed too. What a monumental -- boost to the economy. Waste a lot; Want nothing -- Economic drumbeat of the Consumer Society. :) gw

(chuckling) This describes me perfectly. Tonight I cooked a real meal for the first time in ages. I've been subsisting on sandwiches, et al. Anyway, I made sure everything was clean!
