Getting to Know You - May 5

[Ann]

How many times a week do either you or your spouse cook dinner at home?

[Mr Ry]

If there are no soccer games five. Soccer games always fall at dinner time. Friday is takeout night and, Saturday is dinner date night.

[Geri]

I cook most nights!

DH is out of town a lot so those are my nights off.

My DH doesn't cook except what goes on the grill - after I get it all ready!!!!

Depends on what you call cooking. If a frozen pizza counts as cooking than I'd say about 6 days a week. Every week there is at least one day where I just can't find the energy to cook so it is Fast Food Drive through time. Keith is a picky eater, so what he likes most are prepackaged things like frozen pizza, pizza rolls, frozen waffles. I know they aren't the healthiest, but at least he's eating.

[nancyf267]

I cook 5 or 6 times a week ~ unless it's on the grill, but (like Geri) I still get everything ready

[Treebywater]

4 or 5.

And somehow in the last 9 months my cooking repetoire has expanded enormously. It's kind of fun.

[mamasbabygirl]

I usually cook 4 out of 5 nights.

[ginnyde]

Does cereal count as cooking?

[Kasey]

I USED to cook, and Fred did maybe once a week or so. Only now.............FRED does just about all of it. I am such a lucky woman!!!!!! And I know it, for sure. I would have to say in the past 6 weeks, I have cooked ONCE! Sometimes I am ashamed of myself. Fred does a wonderful job too! Now that the weather is getting so nice, though, we do a LOT of delivery meals. We have several local spots that deliver or where we can pick up. So I would say that FRED cooks about 4 times per week.

Well, after reading the preceding paragraph I feel shamed into doing better. Ann, ask this same question in a couple of months......see if I can fess up to doing a little more.

None. We eat out or have take-out. Don

[dchurchi]

Does a trip to the doughnut shop count?? with Alan's

appetite and tendancy at very strange cravings, it differs. so I would say 3.

[Patkid]

I want to live with Don and Lucie.

On the weekend, I cook a lot, divide into portions and then freeze. I can pop this food right of the oven and reheat to avoid cooking after work. So I realy only cook maybe 3 times a week but reheat a lot.

[Teacake]

It varies but I've been doing a lot of grilling, fish and asparagus mostly, on my George Forman grill. And I do a lot of Lean Cuisines these days. Eat out maybe once or twice a week.

And like Ann, when I do grill or cook, I do a lot and put in divided Rubbermaid covered plates for lunches and future dinners.

P.S. Oh yeah, I'm back so need to turn in my "Wind in my hair" pass. Had a great time.

[MurielK]

During chemo last year - zero times a week. Now, generally 5 or 6. Muriel

[gail p-m]

I cook two nights a week and my husband cooks 2 nights a week. Saturday, we get appies from Costco or wherever and have a nice tray of those for dinner. Leftovers sometimes or ???

P.S. I hate cooking!! Would go to restaurants all the time if my husband liked them more and we had more money!!!

[Sparx]

Cook? What's that? Is that what the stove is for?!!I thought it was to warm your hands on cold winter mornings!

Wendy

[purplelady47]

I only have a kitchen because it came with the house.

Seriously though, I cook at least 5 nights a week. I try to do most of my cooking out on the grill and I've become quite accomplished! My son & I like to keep things pretty simple, so we eat alot of "kid food" here. He's not one for haute cuisine.
