Sincerely 'Fro Me to You - Dining Out

Cooking has just never been my thing, ya'll. I'm not good at it, and I don't enjoy it. My favorite thing to make for dinner? Reservations! (Ba dump dump!)

As a little girl, I did a lot of pretending - I loved playing dress-up and pretending to be a mommy with all my dolls, or a cowgirl riding my "horse" (which was really my bike). I never pretended to be cooking, tho. I didn't stand at my mother's knee and watch her prepare our meals, learning each step as she did it. I didn't have a little toy kitchen with pots and pans of my own. No, even as a child I knew better. When it was pretend time? I ate out.

"Yes, I'm ready to order."

"Oh, the service here is fabulous. I'll have to be sure to leave a nice tip."


Hey, I am who I am. Someone has to be the cook, someone has to be the diner. I'll choose the latter, thankyouverymuch.

You were so blonde! And terribly cute, of course.

I LOVE it! Do you think if I had done that, I'd have an excuse now?

What an adorable child you were! I love to cook, but you are right. We need people for all the roles.

I still play pretend cooking/eating. It's fun as long as I don't have to do the cooking, only the eating!

Ha! Adorable! My kids can play for HOURS with their friends as waiters and waitresses. Not me, I just place my order!

Hey, you gotta be who you are!

Love it. Somehow you are related to my twin sister. Who still, to this day, does not cook much.

I know you were blond. I've seen countless pictures. Yet, it still throws me off to see that blond hair!

I was in a different state playing right along with you.

You remind me of ME!

I never pretended to cook OR eat - though I do love to eat, especially when someone else has cooked it for me!

Oh, and I love the hat! It's perfect for the occasion!
