[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$1000 - 2 adults and 1 toddler
We get delivery and eat out about 3x week
Buy a lot of organic
I cook a lot[/quote]

Either you eat out/take out 3x a week OR you “cook a lot.” The two are mutually exclusive.[/quote]

OK you got me -- you know me better than me!

7 days in week, 4 periods of cooking per day (3 meals and a hot snack) = 28 potential cooking incidents minus 3 take out times (~10% of the time) = 25 times I cook in a week
and then you factor the variations between foods (one adult is gluten-free, adults like spicy, toddler does not, adults can eat sashimi, toddler cannot) it all adds up to a lot of cooking for me. You're just going to have to take my word for it.[/quote]

Np here. I believe you. If you’re making stuff from scratch it ends up to be a lot of time in the kitchen!

Curious what you mean by a “hot snack”?[/quote]

A hot snack is like a warm snack. Something I cook that's not a full meal but not a snack that's premade. Like artichoke dip with grilled bread, nachos, samosas, pizza, gougeres, and things[/quote]

But no one makes exactly the servings you need every time. You aren’t cooking all those meals and snacks all day. I’m also certain you have non hot snacks. I’m guessing you cook plenty but are feeling defensive and stretching the truth a bit now[/quote]

When do I talk about serving size? Or cooking all day? Ain't nobody got time for this, I gotta go cook![/quote]
