She also loves lobster, shrimp, pizza, burgers, hotdogs and BBQ ribs, Chinese and Mexican (in restaurants)
I love shrimp, pizza, burgers, Prime Rib, chicken (legs/thighs), fried, baked and mashed potatoes, cat fish, mac and cheese.
Favorite dinner restaurants: Longhorn Steakhouse, Red Lobster, Pizza Hut, 5-Guys Hamburgers, Panda Express (Chinese), Waffle House
 

No onehas mentioned Kentucky Fried Chicken that I know of. Went last week and 2 buffets, all you can eat was $14.00 I was happy cause I love their chicken, and the "chicken and dumplings". Which I can make but it takes a day. Love Buffets for hubby who loves food and lots of it!

April, we buy boneless Australian lamb sometimes at Costco, then we slice it into portions big enough for the two of us, and freeze them. We'll either oven grill them or charcoal grill them and eat them with a veggie. I remember when I was a kid, my mother use to make long-bone shoulder lamb chops for us once in awhile, she fried them, and they were sooo good! We ate them with mashed potatoes (of course). ;)

There's a Costco near me, maybe they have a nice rack of lamb that I might be able to pry my palms away from my budget dollar bills for a small splurge. I don't care for the shoulder cuts though, I've tried it, just doesn't have the same flavor and takes too long to cook give me that tender loin part or nothing at all. Well at least if I'm cooking it, same with beef, I'm just not very good with cooking the tougher cuts, no matter how much I try and believe me, I've ruined enough cuts and given my jawbone enough of a work out to know my culinary capabilities. Though my recently purchased George Foreman grill was a little bit of an improvement on my last steak that wasn't the worst cut, but not a tenderloin. That was delish. :D

There's a newer market that recently opened lest than a mile from where I live, they are suppose to have great prices, when I was in the market the other day, a gent stopped to talk to me and was telling me just how the cost of the meat at the newer store was nearly have the price of the pork ribs he was holding up. I'll have to check the store out. I haven't made it over there yet, because, I do believe it's another story that most items are sold in bulk sizes, but it might be worth it if I can get some of Mary's little lamb at a cut rate. :excited:

April, it's a leg of lamb that we get, but I have to say it's not as tasty as the lamb chops my mom used to make. Our favorite steak is boneless rib-eye, we don't even bother with other cuts anymore. Wanting to try Wagyu or Kobe beef sometime though.
 
I love going to restaurants but in the last couple of years I just about stop going to thm.Here in Florida since there are thousands of them,a list of restaurant failing food inspection has grown by the hundreds. A lot of big names such as Olive Garden fails almost monthly. The failure food list is listed in the newspapers every months.The food industry has gone to court to stop this publication of bad restauants.
I still go when ask but when the food comes I have to do a double check of what Im about to eat.
The doggie is always full for the neighbors dog.(g)
 
Oh, better add Golden Corral Buffet for dinner. Go there about once a month. Next month is Veteran's Day and I get a nice FREE meal/dinner at Golden Corral.
 
This is something I did this weekend. I went to Hillsborough North Carolina for a "pig pickin". It was done by a group of men that cooked it all night. I am from Alabama, but had never been to a pig pickin. There were mostly people from N C and the men that cooked were our age. It was on the Lake Lure and the weather was wonderful.
The meat was tender, delicious and you could choose your own barbeque sauce. Of course they had barbeque sauce from East North Carolina, which I like, but I love the
tomato "Alabama" sauce the best. Thank goodness they didn't have the head on the pig. Fun weekend. Slept in an authentic log cabin that was built 100 yrs ago. Wonderful time
and loved the people.

I just got off the phone with a friend having had this very conversation about it being one of the reasons I'm not a fan of the dining experience so much, plus I've dated a few restaurateurs and chefs (this was in NY,) and they told me they wouldn't ever eat at most other restaurants due to what goes on in the back at many establishments health wise. For a while after hearing their stories, I avoided eating out like the plague, but, I've slipped since and do still occasionally eat out cautiously more often than not.. But yes, the reports that come out almost daily on the news about Florida restaurants is especially daunting. And sometimes the reports feature video of the roaches and rat droppings all over the counters at some popular eateries. :sick:

LOL! This is the restaurant that prompted the conversation I was having with my friend on the phone. She thought, no was insisting it was Chili's and I had to inform her it was one of the places she likes to go once and while, Golden Corral. I was trying to avoid looking it up, but, did so for her sake and saw what I was trying to avoid. :eeew::sick::sick:
 
I noticed people getting food from whold foods and other supper markets
