Parrot Kitten

I need help finding good places to eat in Asheville NC. We are downsizing our food budget and I do not want to spend $50 on lunch or $100 on dinner. Which is super easy to do there! I've tried looking for affordable places on google but I'm not finding anything that is meeting our wants. Lots of places are highly recommended but they don't say affordable!
I like anything except Thai, Chinese and Indian! Plus they need to be places that come recommend by real people who have eaten their!
Isn't this a cute picture! The kitten went through a parrot phase!! The husband easily falls asleep and well what a perfect place to perch!
I have a funny story to share, I'm hoping others with children find it hilarious too! So my oldest comes home this week all upset! Complaining that her teacher wants her to shower, change her clothes and that means her socks! I started laughing at this because I have been trying to encourage her to have better hygiene forever. I thought he had singled her out! It turns out ALL the 5th grade classes received this talk because they don't do those things! I was so relieved that my daughter wasn't the only child who was torturing her parents!!
Now if I only had professors like that in college! Well things are always different in college aren't they?! I was an art major and while I showered everyday, I didn't wash my clothes as often as I should have. I did have a rule. Once food touched my clothes, they went into the wash pile! If you have ever worked with plaster you know plaster is a dirt repellant once it works it's self into your clothes.
