That's why I keep bringing up the homes on House Hunters. Seems
everyone wants all this fancy stuff (which they can't afford) yet they
rarely cook. You might see someone setting out some crackers & cheese.
Heh.

Personally I don't give a rip about stainless steel appliances and
granite countertops. As long as the appliances work I'm happy.

As for eating out, if I drove 2 hours to visit friends I wouldn't be
thrilled with having to hop right back in the car again to go to a
restaurant. Like Ed mentioned, maybe pick up something on the way to
eat at their home.
