They are the ones that started the cooking at home trend.

I had several as customers over the years.
White vinyl windows with a focus on the energy efficiency and warranty.

They would literally order all the windows the same size double hung egress, and a few for the kitchen and bath of a different size.

Colonial six panel doors with rot-proof frames and ball bearing hinges, same for the back but in a nine lite version.

They spend a lot of time taking basic ingredients, basic building material, heck anything off-the-shelf and then just sprucing it up.

I'm sure their cardboard counter tops where delicious yet a little tough swallowing. This new age is all about doordash, grubhub, and any other easy fix for them without the thought of the cost. I'm talking the REAL WORLD not just little Laconia. Home Cooking started with parents who COULD NOT AFFORD to take their 3 kids out to dinner. Now Credit Cards pay for the CONVIENCE. Maybe coming down a couple of notches to actual reality (the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them ) might see the forest thru the trees.

They're going for happiness.

According to the financials, DoorDash is not profitable and GrubHub is seeing a revenue decline... so the change is probably going every where.

Unprovable. ( unable to be demonstrated by evidence or argument as true or existing. )

So you think they are shooting for being unhappy?

Interesting concept.

It is a logical outcome from your response.

DoorDash is unprofitable. That is provable. GrubHub is seeing a revenue decline that is provable.

So the only part of the statement is that is in question would be that they are going for happiness.

Since you refute that as unprovable... then the opposite must be what you are suggesting.

No assumption.
It is a dichotomy.

If not one, then the other.

Speaking of lobster......is there any chance we could see $6.99 a pound lobsters this summer? Or are those days long gone?

You can easily block him if his posts annoy you that much. I've blocked a few!
It can keep you from getting into the back and forth, pissing match.

In the past, when comparing food prices here to San Francisco, there has been a substantial difference. With the exception of 2lb+ lobsters, ($25.95lb. in SF; $13.95 lb. at Sal's), the general prices, although still less here, have surprised me as to the increases.
