[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say cooking every day is dumb.  Some people genuinely like to cook, and some families don't have enough money to do takeout or restaurant meals very often.  And some people have the time to devote to that.

I don't have the time or the energy to cook every day, because I WOH and my kid has a bunch of activities, most of which I have to help coach/lead.  Some days, the last thing I want to do when I get home is cook, and so I'll get takeout to avoid resorting to cereal or something equally dumb.  I do a lot of semi-cooking.  By that I mean I rely on those frozen pasta/rice meals you can throw in a skillet, which I'll serve with steamed veggies.  Or I'll toss some chili on pasta and serve with steamed veggies.  Or I'll make things that provide good leftovers.  Occasionally if we have bread, meat and cheese to use up, I'll heat up soup and make sandwiches.

I love takeout, though, and I can get a wider variety of ethnic food from takeout than I can cook, so that is sometimes my solution.  We'll do Thai one week, Indian the next, etc.[/quote]
