Generation Gap - Cooking at Home

Not to butt in, Chef, but most of our friends, (50ish to mid 80s and almost all
retired bums like us), eat out 4-6, to even 7 days a week! Quite a few of
them, (either hub or wife, or both), eat lunch and freakin dinner "out" of
their kitchen several times per week!

Remarkable to me, expensive after months of it on end, and while I am not
the poster boy for good habits/nutrition, I do feel cooking/eating at home
is better food. While some parties and social functions we attend at
others homes have home cooked stuff, many have the main dish catered
or brought in from a local joint or, the country club. Amazing to me...

Maybe it's the response to eating out on the road for 200+ days/nights per
year, for a Qtr century, but V & I eat in, home cooked, about 300+ nights
per year for the last 9 years, since we bailed.
I'll let you GenX/Y people get back to topic, but I just wanted to give our
anecdotal view from Geezer/RetiredBumDomVille.
