Comments on: On a lazy afternoon, in the summertime… http://www.garrettsocling.com/2007/09/08/on-a-lazy-afternoon-in-the-summertime/ Sounds—possibly musical—heard in the night from other worlds or realms of being.

I try to eat lightly when I'm drinking, I'm usually pretty successful, as each beer, wine or mixed drink is probably around a hundred calories. Beer as a food substitute...now that is my kind of diet! Shame about the lack of vitamins and whatnot...high time they fortified beer into a superfood... My LDL was a bit elevated on my labs recently, while my HDL and triglycerides were both good, I'm pretty sure it is the regular doses of red meat and fried foods I've been consuming. Once a month would definitely be best for the health, but mmm a burger, a couple beers and some fries call out to me, mmm...I'm getting hungry all over again... Someone needs to invite us to the Tia!

I think once a month should suffice, especially since we usually end up eating stuff that isn't very good for our bodies. I've always thought Jesus was overrated...now I definitely know he is overrated, if he even existed at all.

If you just drink the beer, then not a problem. So you have to use the beer as a food substitute and then you won't get fat :) Tabitha told me that she learned in health class that the reason some people develop beer bellies is because they tend to munch a lot while drinking beer.

Let's see, we'd be about $5 per person per day. I'm pretty sure splurging on thinks like those fruit puree drinks I'm fond of is pushing up our average, I think we spend about $10-15 a week on fruit purees and juices. I hate the hassle and messiness of fruit, but love the flavor... Kelley and I are typically very good at our eating out budget, but this summer has been atypical in nearly every regard. Kelley snorts in derision every time I say it, but I think we're probably averaging around eating out every 1 to 1.5 weeks, probably around $35 per meal for the two of us. When you consider the average cost of food per meal eaten at home (probably between $1 to $3 per person per meal), eating out (probably between $10 to 20 per person per meal) looks like an insane splurge.

(lunches and suppers). Looking at those numbers...I would say they are low for us. Next month, I am going to keep track, just to see.
