I enjoy reading other people’s menus… if only my family would go for some of the healthy, easy ideas, like salad bar. The food critic at the head of the table would pass out if I served that or french toast for dinner! We are on a continuous loop of having spaghetti and taco nights every week. We did get a load of free drumsticks, so the Italian drumsticks are a must try.

try a baked potato bar. you could top yours with broccoli and cheddar, and he could top his with chili. or something.
Didi says
“Food critic at the head of the table” LOl. Thank you, you made me laugh!
Gwen says
Tell your husband to knock it off and be the head of the table by trying new things and setting an example for your family. 🙂

Jay Kay says
I don’t understand why she pays tax on food items.
Kim says
Tax laws vary state to state. I didn’t know there were any states that didn’t tax food. Where I live, the WalMarts in different parts of town charge different tax rates.
Jay says
Wow! I thought it was universal that tax was not charged on food items. Finally something good about my home state of California!
