When I eat out it's mostly Salad, Chinese food or Pizza. I don't eat out often but I know people who do. It can become quite expensive as it does for them. Not to mention it's not always healthy. I normally eat out on Friday's and Saturday's. I cook on Sundays and most days during the week. I think cooking builds character as it's a skill and something a person can do for themselves. Anything you can do for yourself - you should. In a society where machines do so much for us - the least we can do to remain 'in the loop' is do our own laundry and cook our own food.
