On Friday night, we ordered take-out from a local Japanese restaurant. I didn't have a menu...I just ordered two beef sukiyakis. Which is essentially thinly sliced beef in a sweet broth with clear noodles and cabbage.

My husband went to pick them up and came home with the bill. The cost? $17.00 each.

For. Beef. Broth.

Thus qualifying for reason #8 of why I no longer enjoy living in the Bay Area.
