Hard Times
Sometimes being broke means completely going without, but going out to eat once in a while alleviates stress, creates a welcome break in routine and allows for some all-important socialization. Without fun and friends, our lives are empty. I’m so grateful to 3 Foods Café for offering Recession Tuesdays — $5 pasta, $3 salads, $2 glasses of wine — all in one of Humboldt’s prettiest, tastiest restaurants. Enjoying an inexpensive meal in such a lovely place lifts the spirits, without post-spending guilt.
And the Maker’s? Well, assuming you’re not an alcoholic — and please don’t let job loss sadness send you down that path — a glass of fine liquor, straight, lasts a lot longer than a mixed drink, due to the sipping factor. Gather some friends and commiserate about the economy. You’ll feel much better.
First in a series.
