Chilling in Pender Park before my haircut. This is a pretty cute little park, great trees, gorgeous in the autumn sun.

Help me decide, should I get f&c nearby the salon after my haircut or should I go buy some salmon to pan fry with some air fryer chips? I'm a bit loathe to cook and clean but it might also be good for me nervous system to do something with my hands and I can probably get more salmon for less $ if I do it myself. Otoh, I'm not that tight for cash atm and I kind of like the dopamine hit of the f&c. I have plenty of time to bulk cook this weekend.

Salmon and air fryer chips. ( mix together some wasabi and mayo for a little zing sauce )

The idea of takeaway f&c is better than the actual thing and there’s always a comedown period of regret after.

Excuse me while I shower in downvotes now.

This is too true.

not for me, I just have a small amount, from a good place and not very often

I agree actually. always end up feeling a bit gross after F&C

#DIY. It's not much cleaning, likely more healthy and better for your wallet.

I nearly bought a unit overlooking that park, but in the end chose not to. The local f&c is good though.

Fish and chips cooked at home is nice but it doesn't scratch the specific itch that fish and chips does. Do it.

Maybe some craft to keep your hands busy? Or cleaning?

Salmon, because I know you wanted it the other night.

The answer is always f&c. Edited to add: I am so very lucky to live coastal and have a variety of fantastic greasy shops to chose from so that sways my decision!
