Enjoy Your Evening



Who wouldn’t get excited over a night off from cooking? Decisions abound at restaurants; going way beyond what you order: Will you clean your plate, taste your friend’s food, nibble from the bread-basket? Adopt the restaurant rule of two: order the entrée you really want—and pick any two from this list:

  • Dessert
  • Wine or cocktail
  • Bread

This way, you’ll leave satisfied—not starving or uncomfortably stuffed.
