I love food.  My family loves food.  So it is pretty safe to say that we are food lovers, and we are not picky about the kinds of foods we eat.  Sometimes I will cook up an elaborate meal and other times I will make something simple and easy.  But the best dinners of all is when we go out for dinner. Going out to eat has many perks and benefits, plus the ambiance and inviting space of a restaurant makes me feel very happy.  There are so many reasons that we choose to dine out, and maybe you have the same reasons for going out to dinner at a restaurant instead of eating in.

Even the most conscientious diner occasionally finds himself in the awkward position of wondering what the appropriate tip should be for service in a restaurant.  There are some people I know who are generous tippers, sometimes to an extreme degree.  Then, there are stingy ones who always seem to short the server by just dropping some change on the table, or throwing a couple of singles down when the bill is clearly more than $35.  These are both pretty major faux pas, but with a little study, you'll be tipping like a pro in no time.

We all have our favorite restaurants, and favorite menu items.  While it's in most peoples' nature to stick to what they know when dining out, trying something new once in a while can really expand your horizons.  One of my best dining out experiences was when I tried something besides Pad Thai, all I had ever ordered previously, at my favorite Asian restaurant.  Instead, I went for an Indian dish called Aloo Gobi which featured tender potatoes seasoned with turmeric and other spices, peas, tomatoes, and garam masala.  It was delightful in every way and replaced Pad Thai as my favorite meal...

Now when you go to order pizza there are so many different things that you have to decide on before you can order your pizza. To start off you have to know what size pizza you want to eat, then you have to figure out if you want a desert pizza or a meal pizza.

It's summer, It's hot... everyone is racing to the ice cream shop to grab a cool, creamy treat. Ice cream has been a summer favorite for years. Ice cream dates all the way back  to the Persian Empire when they mixed the juice from fruits with snow to create an ice cream like substance. Later ice cream was modified to use dairy products and began a series of new ways to create the creamy treat. Ice cream first came to the United States in the 18th century when one recipe for the ice cream was published. In the beginning people were keeping their recipes safe with home security wireless systems....
