Do you cook at home on Friday?

[Anonymous]

The other day it occurred to me that I don't think I've ever eaten a meal at home on a Friday night. I can't even remember if my mom cooked on Fridays because I was either out or at a friend's house on Friday nights, but as an adult, that's our "going out" night, and I can't recall ever cooking on a Friday night. It now seems weird to me to see meal plans that include Friday- Friday's free!

I don't cook on Fridays. We order in, go out, or heat up leftovers. I figure I work all week so I deserve one night of not having to cook!

Friday night is our dinner out night. DH tries to get home early enough (6:30) so that we can all go to our favorite restaurant. It's one of those things that you do once, the kids love and then they want to do it EVERY Friday. And we do, too, so win-win.

I grew up in an RC area where Friday Fish Frys were the norm.

Me too.

I recently learned that fried fish is actually a Jewish tradition. I was watching the British show "Supersizers to Go" where they were re-creating Victorian era food. Recent European Jewish immigrants escaping pogroms introduced the practice:

We go out every Friday. I can't remember the last time I cooked on a Friday.

Almost always cook in. Usually pizza or something easy after sports practice. Then a movie with wine for the grown ups.

Friday is pizza night! No cooking allowed!

Are you a single parent?

We never go out on weekdays. No time. We make something very quick.

+1 DH picks up the pies on his way home.

Pizza here too. We have a toddler.

I almost always cook. I find it easier than dragging a tired child out, and my husband works late. But we rarely go out. I may domleftovers or takeout, but usually save take out for midweek when I get stuck at work late.

Growing up it was McDonald's night (starting to see why I was a chunky kid)

What a nice family tradition
