It's a terrible moment when one realises that the food is inedible, and one still has to pay. Disappointing, wasteful and costly.

I like going out from time to time but it's amazing how many places let me down for one reason or another and so I tend to eat at home more often these days. Back a few years I was eating at a restaurant three or four times a week, now it's not even that over a fortnight. Sometimes I miss it but with quality declining I'd rather opt to make it myself and know what I'm getting.
