Eating out for any meal has become ridiculous.

12. Recommended. Once a week or so we go out for breakfast...

I order 2 eggs over well, sausage, rye toast home fries and coffee. Mrs Intern orders avocado eggs Benedict, toast and home fries. We each order coffee. With tip the bill is about $45. This is at a Jersey Diner, not 21 Club.

Problem is: buying the ingredients and making these at home given today’s prices is anything but cheap. You can’t buy four links of sausage or two pieces of very good rye bread so whereas yes, I’d get more meals if I shopped and cooked at home , I don’t want them or I’d weigh 400 pounds. So this is a treat and entertaining, since you never know what floor show you’ll get to watch when dining out.
