Well, Leona was quoting from an article. I watch 'House Hunters' on
HGTV. Seems like lots of people want the latest greatest kitchens but
they don't actually use them. (I've got some neighbors like that.)

True, not everyone is a great cook nor do they want to cook. I would
suggest a different restaurant if I felt it was over budget.
