Watching what we EAT..

Were you expecting something about healthy eating? or the type of diet you should be on. So sorry to disappoint... read on if you like.

There is only two of us so the liklihood of eating at home is about 15% of the time even though I love to cook but my better half hates to clean (I cook, he cleans - that's the deal). Therefore, most of the time we eat out or have carry out. Lately, we find that we are tired of eating at some old favourites and found that they have changed hands or that the quality of the food is not consistent.

Instead of complaining about it to my poor friends (word of mouth works both ways for advertising), I have found a nice local website that have reviews for most of the restaurants we go to. Its called Dinehere.ca . This is where I whine and complain about the BAD places we went to (constructively, of course), so far only a couple places have bad reviews from me. Most are good. I am hoping with enough reviews I will be hired by someone to eat and critique and get pay for it. (Naah, that will take the fun out of it or not???)

If you want to see my reviews there, search under sarlye. I find some of the reviews on the site useful, some might be planted so use at your own risk.

Before planning a big dinner or eating out, I usually check at the dinehere website for the address and phone number and reviews, then I check the Health Inspection site; this site is updated twice weekly. Read the report carefully, just because a restaurant has a report does not mean they are bad. Click on the date the report is filed, sometimes its just a minor thing that has been fixed.

Yes, we do try to eat better, at least some green stuff do past through our mouths. Next time you go out to a restaurant, remember this post and don't forget to ask us to join you.
