Maybe it's because they use bad stuff to cook in at restaurants like LARD or SHORTENING. I don't know? I just think the food has ALWAYS tasted better than home cooked food in general. Sure, once I had at a free food event at a college I went to awesome burgers on the grill at a cook out that were better tasting than some restaurants, but who knows what kind of meat they bought. It probably wasn't anything lean and it could have been something from a place that sells wholesale items for restaurants for all I know. I have had some boiled seafood that was better than restaurants at my uncle's house, but that's about it. Most food though in general has tasted better in my opinion at restaurants and you don't have to wait hours and hours to make it or clean up the mess or anything. It's just so much better just to eat out. Even if the service isn't good, the time consuming mess of just buying all of those grocery items and then having to compare price them to save money is SOOO time consuming before even making the item. I'd rather just go out to eat and then I can just about guarantee it will come out good whereas if I am making something for the 1st time, it usually doesn't come out. So I wasted time and money to throw away food. No thanks. I am not lazy at my jobs or my house work, but cooking I am. I will at least be honest about that. I like baking, but not on top the stove stuff that's not my style, not my thing. As a teenager I remember spending 3 hours making homemade nestle tollhouse cookies cutting them, which we could only fit like 2 pans at a time I believe in the oven. I made homemade brownies, brownie cookies from scratch, etc. I just am not good nor do I like cooking on top the stove. I hate it. I hate sewing too just as most people do, that's why they are lazy and go to the mall too, because they could sew their own clothes too, but don't. So my point is, you may say I am lazy, but think about what *YOU* could do. Have you ever taken your car to a car wash at a gas station? I haven't, because I am not lazy if I do want to wash my car, I wash it by hand. If you have, same difference. So my point is, before you say I am lazy, think about things that maybe you could do yourself, but you are lazy with yourself before condemning me about not learning how to cook.
