[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just stay home and cook OP.[/quote] Why so much hostility for people who like to cook on vacation? Not everyone sees cooking as a chore.[/quote] It’s the “outsource everything” people. They work a lot, make a ton of money and literally outsource everything. They don’t clean, or mow, or care for their children, or cook, or weed or even shop in physical stores. They don’t do their own taxes or investments - I know one who basically has a handyman on retainer to change light bulbs and hang pictures. It is a way of life for them.[/quote] I outsource almost everything, but I still don't get the hostility toward cooking meals for a large, multi-age group on vacation. As an "outsourcer", though, I'd probably have my kids' nanny pre-mix and organize the spices for every meal and also come up with a shopping list before we left ;)[/quote] I'm also a big outsourcer and I hate cooking all the time - not just on vacation - and also don't get the hostility. When I was a kid, we used to go to Nag's Head, NC with 3 big families - 6 adults, tons of kids, friends, etc. and we did go out to dinner once or twice but honestly, at that time, I don't think there were even very many restaurants to go to. So we ended up cooking a few times as well, for a lot of the reasons already listed here and also because there weren't many other options. I do have memories of steaming our own crabs, which was pretty fun if that's something your family could do, OP.[/quote]
