Cooking to me is like cleaning; I hate doing it but I like the end result. It also wastes a lot of time for me; for example, I have to go to the grocery store to get 1 or 2 ingredients for my recipe, chop up stuff, wait for it to cook, and then waste time cleaning all the pots and pans. This is worth it when it's for like 10 people because it's a one-time thing, but I really hate cooking for 1 or 2 because the recipes are a pain to scale. For example a recipe for 6 people will have the use of 1 egg or something else that's hard to scale down. So what am I supposed to do? Make it for 6 and eat a lot? Or just waste the remainder? ergh. i think most newlyweds do the former-hence their post shaadi bodies.
anyway, i think it's ok to order out once in a while; servings are huge these days so you get a lot of food even if you split one dish. less mess, stress and time wastage=more time to spend with your hubby.
