Deephaven Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 We only eat out when running to sporting/music events. Having two that are in shit 7 days a week makes always eating together rough. Learning to cook and appreciate food is the best thing you can do for yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamgreen02 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Most of what I make is better than what you can get in restaurants anyways. Smash burgers on the griddle, grilled chicken and steaks, smoked ribs. I can make a nice steak and a baked potatoe at home for less than an appetizer with tip at a restaurant. We get takeout more than we go out. I eat out enough when traveling for work.

sleepybrew Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 i am fortunate my old lady is a good cook. almost 33 years and that has been a big part of my eating. always balanced meals for the most part. i send my buddy pictures, he can't believe it. he says " you are telling me you have pork chops, roasted potatoes, and vegetables or something like that every night?" yup , but not so much meat. if i eat meat it's not much. i like it , just not good for me. i had a 13mm kidney stone in 17 , one in 2000 as well. meds and diet change didn't stop it. now meds , tons more water, and more diet change. all that eating out and processed food has tons of salt. can lead to rocks in your kidney and tools up your tool. fuuuuuuck that ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 We cook as a family 5-6 nights a week. Everyone gets to choose at least 1 meal each week, everyone participates. Eat out maybe once a week as a family. Even on the road, we are the people with the crock pots in the race trailer, but we do buy race track food too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, we have a stack of frozen pizzas in the shop for the last minute stuff, but we try to plan ahead too. If you want mac and cheese, it isn't from Kraft, we are making it.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted March 6 Gold Member Share Posted March 6 Given the vastness of the midwest how are wr not able to grow everything we need? I suspect its because we grow what is profitable to export instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard that from anyone other than individuals who are too lazy to cook that are lying to themselves. That food is only up 5.8% in 2023. The quote from the article was directly after my statement. In fact there is nothing in my post what so ever talking about which is cheaper. Its about people are eating out more now than ever. Could be partially due to retired boomers traveling more so they eat out more however young people eat out a crazy amount.
