As we work hard to earn money, our time spent at home become lesser. The time spending cooking has become impossible because of our hectic life style. Do you opt to eat outside or just take away food?

Honestly, it doesn't take any longer to cook and eat a meal than it does to drive to the restaurant, wait for your food, and eat it. Now, I love a good meal out and we probably go to restaurants about once a week, but cooking doesn't have to be complicated nor time consuming.

Lately I have been doing a lot of eating out. My husband just started a new job and is working all kinds of crazy hours and just don't have the time to cook right now. It has been a nice break the past couple of days though.

I'm with Mrs. Chipotle; it doesn't really take any longer to cook than to eat out. A restaurant meal takes a good hour, not including driving there and if you have to wait for a table.

Of course, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a nice restaurant meal, but I don't really think it's more convenient when you look at the time spent.

we don't live in an area that's real condusive to eating out, so we rarely eat out during the week (we go out for lunch once on the weekend). It's much easier to cook something at home. I can easily put together a meal in half an hour if necessary. We couldn't hardly get to somewhere to eat in that amount of time.
