FOOD FIGHT

Nancy's Notes πŸ–ŠοΈβ™¬

Fandango asks us:
DO YOU EVER USE A MEAL DELIVERY SERVICE SUCH AS DOORDASH (OR WHATEVER LOCAL EQUIVALENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN YOUR PART OF THE WORLD)? IF SO, HOW OFTEN WOULD YOU SAY YOU HAVE MEALS DELIVERED TO YOUR DOORSTEP?

β€œMom! I’m starvin’! What’s for dinner!”

β€œMe too, Mom! I’m so hungry! I didn’t eat all day!”

β€œWell, I’m hugrier than both of you! I’m so hungry I could eat a horse!”

β€œSo what! I could eat a hippo!”

β€œBig deal! I could eat an elephant!”

β€œKids! Please! I’ve been busy cleaning the house and doing laundry all day. I forgot to take something out of the freezer for dinner. We’ll have to get something delivered.”

β€œYeah! I want Smashburger. Let’s call DoorDash or GrubHub or Uber Eats!”

β€œNo, Jimmy! We had Smashburger last night. I wanna get Panera Bread!”

β€œWell, too bad, Betty. Nobody wants Panera Bread except you, right Bobby?”

β€œWell, I don’t want Smashburger OR Panera Bread. I want Domino’s!”

β€œSMASHBURGER!”

β€œPANERA BREAD!”

β€œDOMINO’S!”

β€œSMASHBURGER! PANERA BREAD! DOMINO’S”

β€œSMASHBURGER! PANERA BREAD! DOMINO’S”

β€œKids! Stop shouting! I’ve got an awful headache and I’m going upstairs to rest.”

β€œSMASHBURGER! PANERA BREAD! DOMINO’S!”

β€œSMASHBURGER! PANERA BREAD! DOMINO’S!”

β€œDADDY’S HOME! DADDY’S HOME!”

β€œHey, guys! What’s all the shouting about? I can hear you all the way out in my car. What’s going on?”

β€œMommy forgot to take something out of the freezer for dinner…”

“So we’re getting DoorDash or GrubHub or Uber Eats…”

“I want Smashburger, Betty wants Panera Bread and Bobby wants Domino’s.”

β€œAll right! Calm down! Where’s your mom, anyway?”

β€œShe’s got a headache.”

β€œAgain!”

β€œAnd she’s upstairs resting.”

β€œOK, listen guys. I’m going upstairs to check on mom. Watch a movie and be quiet!“

β€œI wanna watch Spiderman!”

β€œYou’re stupid! I wanna watch Mulan!”

β€œI hate you! I wanna watch Super Mario Bros!”

β€œMOM! DAD! MOM! DAD! MOM! DAD!”

β€œSTOP SHOUTING THIS MINUTE!! MOM AND I HAVE DECIDED. WE’RE ORDERING FROM THE DINER SO EVERYONE CAN GET WHATEVER THEY WANT FROM ONE PLACE. SIT THERE WHILE I GET THE MENU.”

“Yay!! The diner!! The diner!! The diner!!”

β€œI want…….”

Author’s note: Bill and I have never used DoorDash or any of the other apps for meal delivery. I tried InstaCart once or twice but wasn’t happy with the produce and/or meat that was selected for me by someone else. We will occasionally order pizza or Chinese food when I don’t feel like cooking but I’d rather make my own pizza; it’s inexpensive, delicious and easy to do. Meal delivery is a wonderful service for people who have no other option. For us it’s an additional expense we don’t need.

  2. My sons’ family order meal all the time from delivery services or their local restaurant, but Peder and I haven’t even considered it. I can’t remember the last time we even had a pizza delivery. I buy frozen ones nowadays, and bake them at home. Is the food still hot when it’s delivered? Peder is cranky if the food isn’t hot. 🀣

      1. That’s one of several things that I’ve never been able to master. Dominos works for us, or a frozen one, but we rarely eat pizza as it’s not good for Peder’s blood sugar levels. It makes it shoot sky-high.

  3. What a great story you told. It’s only the two of us (my wife and me) in our household, but our decision making process can be as chaotic as what you described with your kids in your tale.

  6. We don’t order out anymore due too high prices!! CHINESE FOOD… omg for two of us it cost a few pennies under $40.. and we didn’t order much either. IT’S CRAZY!!!! I’m a good cook I’ve been told so I guess I’ll be doing a lot more cooking. It’s spaghetti night! Woo Hoo!

    1. Look at the price of groceries! It’s physically easier for us to go shopping twice each week for smaller purchases instead of one big purchase once a week. Almost every time we go it’s $75-100 for two bags of groceries. I can understand why people grow their own fruits and vegetables!
