But, I am a work in progress. My smoking habit was first to go, and next is my eating habits. Time and will power......

That's very commendable, the smoking thing.
I don't think once a week is unreasonable at all, if you have the money. Like, not at all. Unless you only get non nutritional crap.

Heck, if I was a mom, and had the money, I'd eat out very often. I mean, if I could afford the more nutritional places.
Usually kids won't eat after they are full unless it's something non nutritious. (chips, cookies, candy, fried foods, ice cream, etc.)

So, whatev to your mom.

Chinese, if ordered right, is one of the more healthy eat out things you can have. Better then pizza or hamburgers, yeah?

Thanks about the smoking. It's been over 2 months now. I don't even really miss it. unless I'm drinking...

Sara and I don't eat chips, cookies, candy, ice cream. I bake most of the meat I cook. I buy very lean meats, and we eat mostly white meat (pork, chicken, turkey) I don't deep fry fries. But, we eat non nutritional stuff when we go out. I mean, tonight it was Chinese. Last Friday, it was pizza, the week before, it was Italian, and before that, it was Mexican. It's as much a laziness treat for myself as it is a go-out-to-eat treat for Sara.

They don't get fancy, though, they just make the regular meat, pasta, (cheese) dishes that taste really good. We often have Lasagna for Xmas...

We have lasagna every year at my mom's.

But she's Polish.

I kind of agree, though.

Spumoni.....yum.

Anyway, I wish we had pasta for holidays, but we always go to my dad's side. (i.e. the non-Italians.) So we always have traditional meals. Yuck.

I think turkey is kinda gross. And I'll only eat dark meat(thighs please). I think the white's too dry. Just about the only thing I really like about Christmas is the HAM! Mmmmmm, hammmmm. And none of that processed, no-bone in it crap. I've got an aunt (who's loaded) that always buys that boneless ****. On the years that we go to her house, I always buy a small ham for myself(I don't take it, of course), cook it at home, so I can have REAL ham leftovers.

Ham, Miracle Whip, and Wonder bread. Oh my! My favorite!

Yep, no one likes the dark meat. I've got one cousin who also likes the dark. She and I are the only ones who touch it!

Can I gross ya'all out? I LOVE the liver and gizzard! Grab a salt shaker, and go to town! When I was 14, I worked in a restaurant(I lied about my age, to be able to work there) where they cooked like 8 turkeys a day. I don't remember how I got into eating them there, but they're wonderful!
