Ordering Takeout
i can't bring myself to cook regularly...i'll make myself a sandwich/hamburger helper/eggs&bacon maybe twice a week...the other 5 days i'm constantly ordering subs/chinese/pizza/any type of takeout/delivery.
Lazyness? Takeout-disorder? Can't fend for myself disorder? just normal college lifestyle? not really concerned...just found it intriguing as i was placing an order for a Chicken Caesar salad and a side of fries when i could easily throw in a frozen pizza or make a tuna sandwich. |

Re: Ordering Takeout
I live off of takeout and pre-cooked chicken wings.
I'll make myself breakfast every 2 weeks or so. I hear people can get joy out of cooking, and cooking for others can be fun, but I'd say you can write this one off as just a normal college lifestyle. |

Re: Ordering Takeout
Cooking isn't worth the effort. I either go to a restaurant or order delivery pretty much every meal. The first 6 years in this apartment I had never turned on the stove once. Now that I have a Gf she'll make dinner once or twice a week.

For a broke college student cooking more meals at home can save a lot of money for extra beer and women. Honestly, it doesn't take any more time to cook a simple meal than it does to wait for a delivery - delivery just frees up the 30-40 minutes you would've spent cooking to do something else. |

Re: Ordering Takeout
The quality of food you can cook is way better than buying take away but there is a bit of a learning curve involved. Takes me around 15 mins to cook a massive pot of chilli/taco's/bolognese/etc & serves like 7 people... or myself 7 times & it's so cheap its practically free.

Re: Ordering Takeout
I cook basically everything because nothing is healthy here, but man, campusfood makes it so [censored] easy.

Chop onion garlic celery etc, cook beef, drain beef, cook vegetables, add beer and beans and beef, and spices. That should take you about 15 minutes if you know what you're doing. The let it sit on low for 2 hours. Good to go. |
