Death of the 'McMansion': Era of Huge Homes Is Over

[one...two...tree 2,762]

No kidding. I had my arm twisted to go to one of those stupid Olive Garden places at the weekend (mother in law birthday). I had some chicken thing and the first thing I thought when I bit into it is "bloody hell, It's like eating chicken in sea water". When I went home I looked and lo and behold, something like 2000mg of sodium per serving. That's just obscene.

Fvckers.

Generally, if I eat out somewhere and feel bloated/sick at the end, I never go back.

You don't have to eat everything on your plate

Who can afford to eat out?

Aren't you the guy living in a 4,600 sq. ft. McMansion?

[BobandXiaomei 14]

People who don't have to make monthly mortgage payments on 5000 sq foot monstrosities!

True that.

But when we do eat out we don't go to chains. Ewwww. It's cheaper to eat better food cooked (in our gigantic kitchen )

Olive Garden is obscene. Obscene in every way.

No, my point was even if you don't.

Olive Garden is to Italian food as Taco Bell is to Mexican food.

Do you two get in your undies and dance on the kitchen island?

Ouch, that would be icky - I think some of the fake oils make you feel like that. Canola is evil. Yes, Olive Garden is about on a par with Taco Hell, and pricier.

but at least taco bell is faster serving the food.

Yeah. One reason I like going out for Thai. I always feel good afterward. Olive Garden makes me sick (literally).

but at least taco bell is faster serving the food.

I could take a dump faster, would ya eat that?

Those of us who haven't blown all of our money on a big house?

I worked at one while in college. A lot of their dishes are pre-made - they come by delivery truck. The frozen lasagna at the grocery store is the same quality, but cheaper.

It's true, I don't know why people rate that place so highly. To me the food tastes bland as hell except for the bread.

When my HG died off from my pregnancy we went there on our wedding anniversary, it was the first time I had been out the door in months. I only ordered a salad because I couldn't eat much,had no alcohol to drink and the server was just damn rude the entire time after we ordered. Not been back since, won't be going again.

I had 1000 times better service just going to Golden Corral ffs lol Mind you the food tasted really salty there as well.

In general the quality of restaurants here has gotten so bad I'd rather buy some nice meat and cook it at home and share the dishes. My cooking skills are pretty meager but coming out better than the last few restaurants we went to, there's only so many corners worth cutting.

I need a good curry None here for miles unless Kathryn knows one hiding somewhere
