randomGuy Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Pls give the rounded-off average. Like if you eat home-made dinner 5.5 days a week on average then vote 6 days, for 5.4 days, vote for 5 days.You can also tell what type of cuisine you like to order or go out to eat. You can also tell about your lunch patterns if you like.Pls include food cooked from scratch by any member at home and even leftover of food that was cooked earlier. Please don't include ready-made food that one just heats in the microwave. Anonymous poll.
Laaloo Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I cook at home mostly all days. I go out on friday lunch with colleagues and friday evening with friends.
coffee_rules Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I cook about 2 to 3 days a week, rest by SO. Take out or eat out on Sat/Fri night. I love cooking. Most weekend lunches are by me. I don't like to eat outside as what I cook, is much better than what I get anywhere outside.
Debutant Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I cook everyday. Very rarely I go out for lunch or dinner, max 3 times a month. I prefer eating food cooked by me at home always.
randomGuy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 I think those who have posted above are great if they cook so often. I voted two or three days. Usually cook daal-chawal only and sometimes eggs. I can make rotis but am too lazy for that almost always.
dial_100 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Mostly cook veg at home. We cant make Rotis so use frozen rotis by Pillsbury.We mostly cook, daal, rice, veg (cauliflowers, beans etc.), Thai noodles, pad thai, Chinese hakka noodles, many soups, Idli, Dosa, PavBhaji, Chole and some sprouts. Tried grilling few times but it is like once in a while thing.Outside, most Biryani or Schlotzsky's. Not very fond of other India restaurants.
Book_Worm Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Home cooked meal everyday of my life except for bday's and some events. I live with my in laws who really don't like hotel food even on special occasions. When we get outside food there will always be comments like we could have done so much better at home. They don't seem to think i need break from cooking everyday. On weekends sat/sun i cook something special like chicken,fish curry/fry/biryani veg pulao, fried rice pooris etc. Rest of the days it is rice and some vegetable curry or dal . Noodles idli/dosa/poha/upma moong dal chilla etc for breakfast. This christmas i have invited friends over for lunch so will be preparing all of my favourite dishes and cake of course. Planning to go out for new years though. Frankly hotel food is really overrated. Many times i have ordered from outside and the food is just blah. I only order when i am fed up of cooking. Eating out for me is less about the food and more about relaxing with my hubby or friend. Edited December 2, 2015 by Book_Worm

I don't like veg food, hence don't like cooking veg too. I love cooking non - veg. Specially now a days, there is so much rain, I can't go out to play on weekends, so spend most of my time cooking and trying out new non veg dishes.

You are a family member with wishes and desires,not just a service provider. Sorry for the unsolicited Gyan.From one married woman ,to another...
