What are your reasons for not eating at home?

1. i didn't buy enough food to cook 2. i'm too tired to cook 3. my range's busted 4. i'm too tired to cook 5. see number 2 6. see number 4 LOL :D

I absolutely love to cook! I collect cook books and am always trying new recipes out of them. I do go to my dad's once a week for tea and then if my husband is here we will eat out once or twice over the weekend for a change but I really prefer to cook myself.

I always have breakfast at home, because I am at home and it is easy to grab something for breakfast, a bowl of cereal or croissant and chocolate spread etc. Sometimes I have lunch when I am out, because I am at college and it would take me 1 hour to get home and one hour to get back and I only get one hour for dinner, so that would be impossible. I tend to have dinner at home too, unless I am going out with a large group of friends then we choose to go out rather than making one person cook, because then it is enjoyable for us all.

My outside food is very rare, Maximum of 3 days in a month, that too only dinner, we used to buy from hotel and have it at home, or we go and have it at hotel itself.. Three days what i said above is maximum, some times this may be 1 and even Zero.. But whenever there is a meeting in our office, its unavoidable for me to have the outside food, which has been ordered by our office, for which i suppose to give the company to our guest, most of them are from abroad, I cannot say "No" for that, because my will not allow me to skip that.. he always bring me with him, for every lunch, because we have more guests, so, we can sit in between, and give company for them, may be for 3 or 4 my boss will take care, and the remaining 2 or 3 i will take care.. because he cannot handle all the 6 or 7 people at at time.. In our house, we all love to eat the home made items, like curd rice etc.. instead of the hotel items. Thanks for the topic, to enable me to share my view.

My meals and the rest of what I eat everyday are paid on that same day i'm eating them. I'm not allowed to cook in my apartment so I always eat outside. and besides i prefer it most of my days because i'm terrible when it comes to cooking. :( Anyway, I sometimes take out my meals and eat in my room.

Until a few months ago, we ate out a majority of the time, mainly due to my lack of desire to cook. But in the last 2-3 months, we've made a goal of only eating out 1 time a week as a treat and eating at home the rest of the time. It's proven to not only be quite easy, but also very cost effective. We don't skimp much on the quality of food and I'm constantly looking for interesting recipes to not get bored with and it makes it special when we do go out to eat.

I have only one reason for eating out. Not having to cook and clean up the kitchen. Okay two reasons. It's nice to have someone prepare the food and wait on me once and a while.

We eat out pretty infrequently, but the reason we eat out is usually because we can't prepare the food ourselves. The restaurant we go to serves excellent sushi, and it'd be much more expensive (and possibly ruined) if we attempted to prepare it. Of course, it's always nice not to have to clean up or bother with cooking.
