I like what I like.

I like all meats, seafood and most vegetables and fruits. I like most drinks and I like to have a glass of apple juice or orange juice every morning. I like to have one pop every night. Usually Starry or a can of root beer. Of course the root beer has to be A&W root beer. No other brand. I like pork spare ribs the best with a baked potato and corn on the cob fixed on the grill. I like pork spare ribs better than steak. If we go out to eat I want seafood and like crab or lobster the best of all seafood. Of course with a nice steak and baked potato I do not like the high cost of hamburgers at a hamburger fast food place so I make my own patties and freeze them and have buns in the freezer to thaw out when I fix a hamburger at home. I cut up my own potato to make fries to go with the hamburger. I enjoy fixing my own homemade chili and spaghetti and homemade soups. Nothing is better than fixing your own home made items. If I want a pie or cake I will fix it myself at home. I love fixing meals at home and when I am in the mood I love to go out to dinner. I love Sizzlers for seafood and steak or Applebee's for their riblets and fries. Sometime we will go to IHOP for their breakfast deals. The prices are good and the food is good. I am picky but that is ok I am retired with enough money between me and my husband to have what we need and want. We are not rich but we have what we need and want every month. Life is good when you are retired.

I am also picky about food and the best food is what I make at home.

@jstory07 I know what I use and I know that my kitchen is clean and I do not recycle used oil and other ingredients.

Yes it is. We are comfortable too and can go out once and a while. When we go out to eat it's all paid for by my online earnings from surveys, focus groups, etc. I can't wait until hubby is back home and we can enjoy a meal out. Have a good weekend.

That's great. That's what I want to experience with my husband when we are old and retired. I hope our health is still good at that time, so we can enjoy the life we want together.

Never anything wrong with that and who is it hurting, no one. People make me so mad but they do not like what I like. Welcome to California.

Do your own thing as long as it is not illegal. Do what you like.

Yep, life is wonderful when you're retired. SS pays enough to cover my bills and food for the kritters and me.

I like lobster too but it's expensive here. I also like ribs but Vince isn't keen on them so we don't have them very often.

Have a night where you fix something you like and something Vince likes I do that all the time.

For me it is all about food that I can enjoy and prepare quickly and usually consumed next to my PC,

When all six kids left home and my husband wanted to retire at 62 we decided to go for it. We did it fast and our house sold fast within a month. Our one son came back from Europe where he lives and rented a uhaul and brought all of our stuff to Oregon. We did not even ask him to help he just did it.

i am glad you make your own hamburgers cause their price sometimes is just unreasonable.

I like cooking so making my own is great and saves us a lot by not going to a fast food place.
