Do you cook? Why, to save money or because you can do better than the kid a Burger King?

Yes... more often than I eat out. That’s an intriguing question.... I wouldn’t say that it was a way of saving money by design, although I would very quickly run out of cash if I tried eating out all the time -- at least in the sort of place that I’d be happy to pay for food rather than cooking my own. Another consideration for me is that, being vegetarian the quality of food that it's possible to buy in a lot of eateries really isn't that high and the range is usually very limited whilst you have an awful lot of freedom at home.

I like to think that I’m a reasonably good cook and can do a pretty good job of producing whatever we’re in the mood for. I also know how I, and my family, like things cooked, which ingredients we particularly do and don’t like and that sort of thing. This makes it relatively straightforward to produce food which is at least as good as that you’d find in most cheap or middle-priced restaurants without an enormous amount of effort.It's also possible to source ingredients of the quality and sort that you want when you're cooking for yourself and your family, whilst a lot of other places are far more directly driven by commercial considerations, so I suppose one advantage of cooking for oneself is that you can use more expensive ingredients than all but the most expensive restaurants would consider using whilst keeping the cost relatively low.

One side effect is that I resent paying (often not incosiderable) amounts of money for food in places which don't manage to do as good a job as I would. Perhaps one exception to the rule is chips bought from a good quality chip shop... cheap food which is better than you could (easily) do at home. Maybe that's a British thing, though.

Having said that, I think one of the great attractions of eating out is that somebody else cleans up afterwards! Sometimes, everyone is too lazy to cook....

Well, yes, I can cook! I do it because I am hungry, most of the time! LOL!

But really, it can be fun to cook. Not if it’s just opening a can of soup, but cooking special meals is fun. Cooking is an art, and a great way for families to do things together.

I don’t have a child at home any more to feed, and my husband is rarely home for dinner, so when it’s just me I just grab something quick and easy. But other days I enjoy finding new and different recipes to try. And they usually turn out pretty good--way better than Burger King as we have a nasty Burger King that we are sure the employees spit on the hamburgers!

I did give away most of my cookbooks, however, as I can find all the recipes I need on line. Even favorite restaurant dishes--there are online recipe sites that will tell you how to make McDonalds Special Sauce or Wendy’s Chili. Cooking at home is not necessarily cheaper than a restaurant, especially when you are feeding only 2 people.It’s hard to buy AND cook small, so you end up cooking whole pots of a dish and have to eat it for a week!

But that’s ok... We even took some cooking classes together, my husband and I. We have a local chef who has a fantastic kitchen in her home that she opens for classes all the time chatgourmet.com I'm confused about the topics you added here--Washington DC, Mexican? Poppet!

Yes I cook because I love the art of cooking but also because I am usually very dissatisfied with the meals I eat out. Granted they are not at Emrils or Bobby Flays but still most places suck and the cost is supper high if they are any good. ~XSpoonX~'s Recommendations Joy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006 Amazon List Price: $30.00 Used from: $12.89 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (based on 64 reviews) The Professional Chef, 8th Edition Amazon List Price: $70.00 Used from: $32.20 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (based on 21 reviews) .

Money and health I'm not a great cook by any means, but it's just too expensive to eat out regularly. When I used to live in Bethesda and worked very long hours, then I would eat out every night. I literally had 200 restaurants within a mile's radius of my home, so getting home tired and with a lot of money in my pocket made eating out inevitable.

But it's not really healthy. Now that I have a smaller budget, I cook to save money but also because I can better control what I eat. I know some people love to cook, but I'm not one of them.To me it's a chore, in my opinion, but a necessary one.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
