Hey, hey, dear GrayViners! Friday is finally here!

It’s been a hectic week on my end, and I’m hoping yours went a little smoother. I’m already looking forward to the weekend—I’m meeting some friends for lunch, and we’ve spent days trying to pick a place. Everyone has their own go-to spot! It got me thinking… Are you someone who likes trying new things, or do you stick with your reliable favorites? I’d love to know—tell us in the comments!

As for me, I love food, so I’m always up for trying something new—especially cuisines I haven’t had yet. Lately I’ve been on the lookout for a West African spot near me (I’ve been craving jollof rice—Ghanaian, Nigerian… I’m not picky!). I haven’t found one in my area yet, but the second I do, you know I’ll be there.

Anyway, enough about me! Let’s talk about your take.

I always loved trying out new things. Now with dietary issues I have to be mindful of what I I order.

Trying new things, it’s what keeps our brains from stagnating

We couldn’t afford to try new things. If we tried a new restaurant for example and didn’t like their food then we will have wasted our time and money. When we travelled we stopped in to places we haven’t been to before. We’ve had mixed results doing things this way.

I have dietary issues but seem to find items i can eat.. I love to try new places but generally check them out on computer before deciding to go. Once in a great while i run into a glitch.
