How many go out eat? We go out at least once a week usually at lunch.( we don't get up early enough to go out for breakfast HA! HA!)i will go anywhere my wife. My wife prefers fish (usually haddock) Today she had she had shrimp as camping i had spaghetti and meatballs and minestrone soup.

Since COVID we do all of our shopping our online, so we do not go to the malls

    we eat out about once a week too. usually dinner but sometimes brunch. my wife and i don't eat meat so we look for places that have a variety of options. we eat fish though so that's usually easy to find. love some good french fries. that's often how we make our decision :)

    My mother enjoys going out. I do have to help with meal choices and keep mind her refusal to eat with her hands as well as diminishing fine motor control. But, she enjoys the restaurant atmosphere and being with people, even if she isn't fully engaged in the conversation.

    We take my mom out to eat maybe o every other week. Shopping has been a struggle. She wants to buy things she doesn’t need. Telling her she cant creates problems. It’s too bad because I know she enjoys getting out and walking around the store.
