Do you or your SO cook dinner every night?

[Doboji]

I don't see that every night you have to break out the pots and pans and cook away... I think sometimes you can just foreman grill up a piece of fish, microwave a potatoe and eat. She insists that we should cook every night, or nearly every night.

Am I stuck in the world of bachelordom or does my SO have unrealistic expectations??

I guess it depends on your schedule. My parents and some friends of mine cook almost every night. But I wouldn't be able to do it.

 

[nageov3t]

I'm still in bachelordom

I'll generally cook one or two nights per week, making enough food for 2-3 days each time, and eat out or microwave the rest of my meals.

all my friends eat nothing but junk. I cook for myself.

usually we do cook or grill something. sometimes, we do blt's or sandwiches and soup and just a few times we get take out!
the best thing to do is cook together!

I don't own a microwave.

I suppose it depends on the definition of "cook every night" is. I make my own food almost every night, but usually it's leftovers of more complicated stuff I made previously. I keep frozen pizzas and stuff around for when I'm tired or busy and don't have any leftovers.

I cook maybe once or twice a week. I don't eat things out of the microwave, stuff like that seems so bad for you. I eat out generally every meal of the day (healthy stuff.)

When I was single and living with roomates, I ate out a lot and rarely cooked. Now that I'm married, she cooks and we eat out.

 

[Doboji]

wow... so apparantly most people actually do cook...

I'm amazed. I'm finding out so many things about me that have been weird and I never knew it.

My wife cooks at least 3-4 nights a week. We go out to dinner, eat with friends or have left-overs the other nights.

 

[Landroval]

We cook, but usually simple things

 

[biostud]

I cook food for 2-3 days so I don't need to cook every day.

I've only bought fastfood 4 times in 4 years.

i used to cook everyday.. everything from scratch... sauces, bread, even made my own cheeses... but the b/f works all the time and doesnt get home till late and wont eat. And VeggieFrog is gone. So, I usually live off PB&J or Tuna sandwiches and only cook occasionally.

I got tired of throwing food away.. cooking for the b/f who is too tired to eat.

Invest in a fridge.

i bbq and am available for some other select dishes.

I think this is a reasonable request, whereas giving up the soymilk and cereal was not.

 

[kingshoc]

I always cook for the kids

 

[bradruth]

I live alone and do my fair share of cooking, but I try to make stuff that'll last for at least lunch the next day.

 

[Squisher]

What I eat most of the time is home cooked foods, but I reheat in the microwave at least 4 days a week.

Now that the kids are grown, we cook in big quantities so that there is always something to reheat or defrost and reheat.

 

[monk3y]

We pretty much take turns... I cook maybe 2-3 times a week. She does the rest.

 

[Nebor]

8 days left of this month and I've spent $986.78 on food! Imagine all the constructive things I might do with that money if I didn't live my life in restaraunts!

 

[magomago]

If you BOTH cook, then do it. Because cooking with two peoples go es aLOT faster, even if the other person plays "slave" and just follows commands. When i cook by myself i take a good 2-3 hours from start to finish, but with a friend we do it in 1-1.5 depending what we try

 

[xSauronx]

before the wife moved out i cooked 3-6 times a week, leftovers a couple nights a week. cooking real food is far better than frozen crap or fast food, but sammiches are good too
