Good morning crew,
Welcome to December, folks (belatedly). Since yesterday was
payday I splurged by buying a couple of porterhouses and
inviting the girlfriend over for dinner.
Two steaks, 28 dollars! Since when did porterhouse get so
expensive? Granted, when I see it on a restaurant menu it
is usually between 25 and 30 bucks, so buying it in the
grocery store saves about half the price, but I was still
scandalized
On the other hand, I usually prepare better meals than I
can get in a restaurant. With the staples, anyway. I rarely
get a better steak when eating out than I can prepare for
myself at home.
And breakfasts? Forget it. Last weekend I prepared a cream
cheese omelet with crispy, baked, center-cut bacon (so much
better than pay frying), a fresh avocado and delicious honey
wheat toast.
You order that in a restaurant and you'll get greasy eggs
with a lump of cold cheese buried in the middle of them with
either soggy or burnt bacon and a razor thin slice of brown
avocado.
So I was more than willing to drop the 28 bucks instead of
spending sixty or seventy in a steakhouse somewhere.
Plus, chicks dig guys who can cook.
Laugh it up,
Joe

The phone rang. It was a salesman from a mortgage refinance
company. "Do you have a second mortgage on your home?"
"No," I replied.
"Would you like to consolidate all your debts?"
"I really don't have any," I said.
"How about freeing up cash for home improvements?" he tried.
"I don't need any. I just recently had some done and paid
cash," I parried.
There was a brief silence, and then he asked, "Are you
looking for a husband?"

On a recent trip to Washington, D.C., my brother-in-law
overheard a patriotic father pointing out a well-known
building to his son. "You see that triangular-shaped
octagon over there? That's the Pentagon."
