What's for dinner tonight? Part 7

Boston restaurant menu, 1860


The questions:
(1) "What do you want to eat tonight?"
(2) "What haven't we had lately?"


We love to eat and don't really like to eat out often. We like home cooked food at home. But at home there's no printed menu to choose from.

To help us answer the second question, I have kept a log here of our evening meals since Saturday, January 27, 2007. That night we ate BBQ baby back ribs and Pensacola's very own comfort food, Nassau Grits.

Eventually the list became too long so I broke it up into six-month segments:
January through June, 2007
July through December, 2007
January through June, 2008
July through December, 2008
January through June, 2009
