Phrugal Phase

We have season tickets to the Children's Theatre.  (preview tickets at a bargain rate.)  I take the three oldest grandsons, Amanda's godmother Kate takes her, and Dawn takes her two boys.  Part of the fun is taking the boys out to dinner.  We usually go to 50s grill, get burgers and chicken strips and milkshakes.  Applebee's is also a good choice. Appetizers rule there.

Since we've been making an art out of fried food at home, and since we are in a frugal phase, I kind of wanted to keep up our record of not eating out.  So I went to get the boys and Grandpa was going to do mozzarella sticks and chicken nuggets in our fancy fryer  Well, we left the fryer cord at school so he had to bake everything.  It was well received by the boys, and cost a lot less, but yuck.  I had a bowl of leftover chicken soup.  about a fourth of a bowl.  The three (yes three) cheese sticks kind of filled me up.  

To review, our phrugal phase in phull phorce prompted us to phry our own phood, but the phryer was not to be, so the phried phood was a phail.  The play and the company were both phun.
