Would you rather cook yourself or go out to eat?

Question

personaly I like cooking, and its really pretty easy to whip up a stir fry, or some pasta and shrimp, or whatever you like, We always have a garden so fresh food is available (in the summer), but sometimes its nice to go out and let someone else do the work, too.

I was afraid you smart as-ses were going to catch me on that one! cook FOR youselves is what i meant

Answer 1

I like to cook for myself. I do not refuse many invitations to eat out and sometimes I get take out from my favorite Chinese place, (if my brother is coming over sometimes we order pizza) but usually I just have a salad or something at home. Saves a LOT of money too!

When I was married I got used to coming home every evening and cooking, and cooking on the weekends it's a lot healthier than eating restaurant foods all of the time! Now that I am alone, if I prepare extra portions, I can freeze it and I can have an easy meal anytime I need one. I have some microwave to freezer containers, so I can freeze the meal to heat up at a later date like a TV dinner. Things like spaghetti sauce and chili are great when made in large quantities, you can just use quart size freezer bags and label the contents, they will lay flat and freeze in your freezer, so you can have a variety of good foods on hand.

It's has made the $money difference I needed for an inground instead of an above ground pool this summer! Eating the healthier foods at home has also made it easier to stay in control of my weight too!

Answer 2

Well I love to cook my self. So when I have a free day I like to cook myself. But if I have to be some where I will go out to a fast food place and eat something there. It just depends. If I am in the mood for having to make something or get fast food.

Answer 3

COOK MYSELF-- because I can control the quality and cleanliness of the ingredients. When you eat out, you never see if they use the very best or the leanest foods or the cleanest cooking utensils and cookware! Ever wonder about that?

Sure, it's easier and faster to eat out, but if you weigh the above with the fast action, I'd rather wait and have quality food any day!

Plus, I'm a very good cook and LOVE to cook, so it's really more satysfying for me overall!

~~ So, what about YOU? Which do you prefer?

Answer 4

I prefer to cook myself because that way, I will know what is in my food. I do enjoy going out to a restaurant occasionally, especially for an important event. I don't like to do it often because I like the intimacy that sitting at home and enjoying a quiet meal with your boyfriend or friend or husband can bring you. Restaurants just don't really provide you that quality because they are so public. And on the plus side, its much more inexpensive to cook at home than to go out and eat. Restaurants have really gotten ridiculously high.

Answer 5

I get a certain amount of joy when I cook myself and present a beautiful and tasty meal, but I have to be in the right mood. For those times when I'm a little lazy, going out is great!

Answer 6

If it's just for me I would rather go out but if I have friends or family up I like to cook.

Answer 7

Depends on my mood. I generally LOVE to cook a nice meal, but I like being pampered sometimes myself. Not having to cook or clean is a nice way just to do that.

Answer 8

I'd rather cook myself. I'm a vegetarian living in the midwest, so there aren't a whole lot of options at the numerous steak houses around here.

Answer 9

Cook for myself if I can. Eat out tell u what is in the outside world.

If u wanna improv your cooking taste, u have to go out and learn more. Exchang experience.

Answer 10

i worked in restaurants for so long, i am afraid to go out and eat. anywhere. P>S> never send something back to have cooked again or order something else. just say you don't like it and don't pay. go get some fast food. it is much safer.
