Well, we cook at home almost every meal throughout the year. Something I noticed compared to old country that for lot of people here each meal is always about the food they like to eat at that time. Whereas for us that likeness/preferred meal is only couple times a week or so. Most meals are really like rotation of stuff from pantry and fridge.

If I were to eat only meals I feel like eating all the time it would be too much of mental hassle even if I could afford to purchase ingredients.
