Well it relieves stress anyway, but the food is usually better at home if you actually take the time to eat more than frozen dinner or a sandwich. Food you make is seasoned the way you like it. Plus a lot of resraunts tend to err on the side of blandness when making food.

No pots to wash after, just pay the bill and leave.
I think everyone should do it at least weekly.
Give yourself a treat and relieve some stress while you're at it.
That was the life...

Firstly, ALL my single male friends eat out! Me too! It's so much simpler in the US to just go to a diner and order your food.
In contrast, a friend of mine, Gary, tried to cook his meals. <GASP!>
Well guess what happened??? He had SO MANY dirty dishes that he THREW THEM ALL AWAY! Yeah, he preferred to throw them out instead of WASH THEM! 😲
So I had to ask Gary why he did that? He told me, "Ya know, Don, if I cook anything I end up eating it for 3 friggin days! Not to mention that some leftovers that I have to eat not only taste bad, but they might even be dangerous to eat!" 😳
So after several months of trying to cok for himself, my friend Gary cals me up and tels me that he has a NEW LIFE! And it's because he decided intead of wahing his dishes, he simply threw them away! 😲
Only in America, eh?

I have too many plates and they ALL end up dirty before I HAVE to wash the stupid things.
What I should do is put all the plates except one away (to be used only when company comes) and just use the one and wash it after every use, would take two minutes, no problem. But I won't. I need some woman to tell me what to do ...
Typical stupid male syndrome.

So many places today claim to do home cooked food and even so called 'posh' resteraunts that offer menues that are just full of poncey words that really mean your getting beans on toast, are crap. I resent paying out good money for food that I know I could cook better and would taste better if I did it at home.

And you know what? The thing that really p*sses me of is places that automatically add the 10-15% to your bill for the tip.
😠If I think its worth it then I will tip but its my decision not theirs.

You do not would like to eating out once you have seen the results of the test on kitchen and food hygiene of most of the restaurants.
Only one real good restaurant in Germany cause it has a kitchen with glass walls.
Test shopw e.g. that vegetables or sometimes even meat which was not finished is reused for the next guest. And so on an on. It is truly disgusting.
Besides nothing is more fun that to cook for yourself in a way you like and about the dishes, get yourself a dishwasher man !
