@SW-User the older I got the more I realized this. I don’t know if it is because I have more time to cook from scratch or the quality of food is much worse than when I was young but to me it’s worth the trouble to cook my own food if I have the ingredients at home for a similar meal. There were times more than a decade ago that I bought food and ate it and thought I should have went home and opened up a can of red beans & had that or made eggs when I didn’t feel like cooking that much. The boy is getting to the point where he suggests we should go home & make something rather than eat in a restaurant even if I say I’ll get him something when we’ve been shopping. Funny that a teen would say that. He doesn’t want school cafeteria food either. He will accept the free pancake breakfast when they have it a couple times in the school year, kind of hard to mess those up. But then again we have real maple syrup and not the corn-syrup stuff.
