Quality counts

[gilana]

I like a bargain as well as the next person, but I've learned over the years that there are some things that it's worth paying more for.

* A good iron - one that will really take out wrinkles, and not accidentally make more. I hated ironing until I got a fold-down ironing board and a good Braun iron.

* A real razor - I used to use the plastic disposables and I cut myself all the time. My sister gave me a Gillette Sensor years ago and I've rarely cut myself since. I like the Gillette Venus now, but YMMV.

* Really comfortable shoes - it's hard to be happy when your feet hurt. I have 3 pairs of Dansko clogs, and they're worth every penny I spend on them.

What's on your list?

I'm going to agree with food! If I'm going to indulge in sweets, I'd rather get a cake from a bakery than a Hostess cupcake.

Though lately, I've found that my cooking skills have surpassed the mid-level restaurants that used to be my fall back options. I don't know if that's good or what, because now when I don't want to cook, I don't enjoy eating out as much!

It's good. It means that 1) you're getting better at cooking, and getting better at *anything* is good, and 2) you can appreciate the difference between "good" and "good enough", which means you can enjoy it more. at least I can.

Going out to eat has gotten more expensive for me because in many cases I can cook better than what they'll serve me. Exceptions include ice cream and french fries (anything deep fried). I don't want that mess in my house.

Embrace your cookatude!

Yeah--I tend to go out to eat either for the convenience or the service. But what I'd really like is someone to cook me my own food, the way I would cook it!
