Lent 2008: Giving up the buffets

February 5, 2008

I’m not a very committed Catholic. I don’t feel that I need to attend every holy day, pray to the saints or pray the rosary. And I don’t make Lenten resolutions, except this year.

This Lent, I resolve not to go to a buffet. No Chinese, No Indian, No Korean, No Old Country Buffet. None.

This is going to be tough. Real tough.

    I gave up on buffets a while ago when I started trying to eat more decent portions. I figured that for the same price I could get a lot better quality of food and only as much as I would need to adequately satisfy.

    My son ,who attends a Catholic school, said at dinner that he is giving up “playing” for lent. We tried to convince him to give up fruit snacks instead, but he was commited.

    Think of all the money you’ll save if you choose to eat a moderately priced meal! For instance, OCB is generally more expensive than Panera.
