I used to have dining and meals figured out down to a tee when I lived in SF. Not only did I know the abundant variety of tasty (and relatively healthy/affordable) restaurants, their menus, and what my "usuals" were by heart, but I also knew based on where I was coming from (work, gym, errand running, etc.), which were on the way either by walking or MUNI connection, and how many meals I can stretch each takeout order to be to maximize cost efficiency. Example: Getting a quart sized order of Grandma Mary's Chicken soup from the San Francisco Soup Company and asking for extra pieces of bread is sufficient for lunch and dinner that day, with more than enough leftover for dinner the next day too. It comes out to about 4 bucks a meal.
Now that I'm living with PD (who is not as tolerant as I am to eating the same leftovers for consecutive days) in a rural suburban countryside without the extent of (or any) tasty takeout options, coming up with an affordable variety of meal options has been a struggle... until now.
I've discovered the delight that is the $4.99 rotisserie chicken from Costco. Recipes to come!
