I would not advise doing this,

*sallymad*

dh and I haven't been out to eat for a nice meal, just the two of us, since last August. We didn't even realize it until we actually did the math last night.

Going out to eat was one of the only fun things we did as a couple, no wonder we feel so out of touch with the "real" world right now. We rarely leave the house! lol

lol When we got our income tax return we decided to go out to eat as a family. Took my mom and DD. We hadn't been to one restaruant in so long that they had changed the menu. lol

 Our only luxury is pizza delivery on Friday nights. We need to get out more ourselves.

I know, we try to get out just us for a nice dinner at least once a month.  But since becoming a mom I now shovel food in my mouth in record speed so when we go to dinner I do the same thing and end up just watching him eat!  LOL.

OMG, I know exactly what you mean!  I've always been a fast eater, but now, I don't even know what happens.  It sort of just all disappears when I breathe in.

This exactly.  Since DD has started insisting on feeding herself I have been making an effort to actually taste what I am eating instead of just hoovering it back because I have time now.  I have also started making everyone sit at the table for dinner because it slows me down and I eat less.
