We eat most of our meals at home, unless we are overnight on the boat, away on vacation, or at a friends. We feel like some of the others that we like our food and our view better than most restaurants we have been to. In the summer we eat on the deck facing the lake and in the winter we eat by the fireplace, so we really don't feel the urge to travel and sit in a stuffy restaurant waiting to get served just to eat a meal. We enjoy several glasses of a wine with a good dinner so between the ridiculous prices ($10.00 for a glass of Kendal Jackson) and the DUI laws it makes it hard to enjoy your beverages on an evening out. Ian likes things a bit on the plain side, not over spiced or dripping in sauce which is fine with me. We buy good cuts of meat, chicken, fish, and pork and cook it like we like, which is mostly grilled. I do most of the prep and cooking, he does the grilling, and we sort of split the clean up.
