The Horrible Dining Experience thread got me wondering....how often in one week do you eat in a restaurant, have fast food, delivery, etc.?
We might go out for dinner once a month, if we're lucky, maybe more like once every two months? Most of the time, I just come home from work and cook our meal. A lot of times, DH will have most of the prep work finished til I get home; he'll chop an onion, some pepper, celery, whatever I need done. And then I'll put my apron on and cook. I do get tired of cooking sometimes, but most of the time, I enjoy my time in the kitchen.
We just don't go out that often and when we do, it's usually with my sister and BIL or my brother and SIL or a group of friends. Sometimes I'll get home and DH will say, "C'mon, I'm treating you!" and we'll go someplace. But that's rare because he knows that I prefer cooking.
And this is my choice, too. It's not that we can't afford to eat more often, but we don't see the need.
There are several reasons why we eat in...
I know what's in our meal and that it's healthier than pretty much anything we're going to eat in a restaurant.
We're saving money (at least I think we are; DH might not agree with that some weeks when I go over the grocery budget
).
We tend to appreciate eating in restaurants more simply bc we don't do it that often.
So what about you? How often do you eat out in a week?

I have gotten much, much better in the last few weeks, though. I've been taking lunch or coming home to make a sandwich, and been mostly cutting out all non-social takeout/fast food at nighttime. I can't help the dinner dates, though. Maybe once I'm better at cooking I'll have people over more - though a common problem is we are spread over the whole city so we like to go to a "central" location which is usually a restaurant.
