[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the above, plus I don’t have to eat what my kids are eating.  I can get tofu or Brussels sprouts or one of the other many things they refuse to eat.  Once a week or so, it’s really nice to just eat what I want, instead of some compromise solution of what everyone will tolerate.  [/quote]

No one in my family likes lasagna as much as I do, so making a pan of it is a waste (I like it, but I don't want to eat it for lunch every day for the rest of the week, and it's a lot of work for something no one else likes).  The Italian place down the street makes good lasagna.  So we get takeout, everyone gets what they like, and I get one portion of a food I otherwise don't make.  Ditto for really spicy food -- my kid can't tolerate the level of heat that my husband likes, which is even too spicy for me.  We get Thai, and everyone gets to pick something that is right for them.  I cook 6 times a week, trying to balance nutrition and everyone's taste preferences and not wasting ingredients, etc., so it's nice to have one day where I can just get exactly what I want without worrying about any of that.
