Do you cook on the weekends?

[entremet]

Before the shutdowns, I rarely if ever cooked on the weekends. I did mostly sandwiches, restaurants, or delivery. Maybe a pasta dish here and there. As things open up and the weather has gotten nicer, I may get back into that.

I do enjoy cooking a lot, but it's nice not to have to do it on the weekend and take a damn break lol.

What's your weekend food routine? Cooking all your meals? A mix of cooking and restaurants? Ready-made foods like cereal and delivery?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

We almost always get something carry-out on Friday nights and cook on Saturdays/Sundays.

 

[btags]

Mostly cooking my own meals. I find it relaxing and it i a fun way for me to try a bunch of stuff I otherwise wouldn't while keeping costs down.

 

[OnkelC]

Fridays are Pizza days, but apart from that, I'd say that I cook the food for the family around 20-25 days a month.

 

[finalflame]

I cook every day, including weekends.

 

[jml]

I'm the reverse, I prefer cooking on weekends since I have more free time. I'm more likely to just get something quick on weekdays because if I only have like 4 hours after work I usually don't want to spend a big chunk of that cooking.

 

[Mr. Von Touchdown]

Absolutely, I cook the most on weekends.

 

[zombiejames]

I cook almost every day. Order out maybe once a week, max.

 

[ReAxion]

weekends are when i have the time to do more cooking.

 

[digitalrelic]

I cook almost every day, and it's even more likely that I'm cooking during the weekend because of the extra free time.

 

[OrangeNova]

Weekends are when I can cook bigger things, because I have actual time to prep stuff.

 

[exodus]

I cook my meals 95% of the time. Sunday is usually meal prep day if I'm not being lazy. I'll prep a bunch of food for the week.

This weekend I'm hosting two dinners (two different fathers days), so there's no way in hell I'm meal prepping this Sunday...just gonna eat leftovers.

One will be:
Baby back ribs
Brisket
Cornbread
Corn on the cob
Swiss Chard
Apple/Rhubarb Crisp

The other (much simpler):
Sous-vide pork chops
Bucatini Arrabbiata
Homemade sourdough
Kale Caesar
More Apple/Rhubarb Crisp

Depends on my energy levels

 

[GK86]

Probably would go out once or twice over the weekend. Not more than that. I would rather cook than spend money eating out.

 

[Humidex]

Yes. E.g. beef slow cooker on Sat, leftover pie on Sun.

 

[Rocketz]

I try to cook but Saturday dinner we've been doing carry out just because it's easy and I don't feel like cooking.We'll get lunch sometimes out from a easy place if we have no plans. This Saturday it's fondue for lunch and carryout wings for dinner.

 

[HammerOfThor]

I cook every day. I love cooking. Especially on the grill or Blackstone outside.

 

[Shiloh]

Yup! Cooking is the better option in about every way

 

[Dennis8K]

Cooking almost every day mofos.

Healthier, tastes better.

Essential tools: Big pot, fancy rice cooker, bamboo steamer, pan.

I really wish I had a flat top outside. That's living the dream.

 

[andymcc]

my SO and I cook pretty much every day but I cook more on the weekends. i'm making fried chicken tonight. :O

 

[Virtua Saturn]

Hell yeah, making a bomb ass breakfast with eggs, bacon, french toast, and or sausage is the best part of Saturday morning.

 

[oledome]

yes, I need to be better about preparing things ahead of time to some degree

 

[LProtagonist]

I usually order some sort of takeout on the weekend like pizza with friends, but it's also when I have time to really cook a nice breakfast so you know I'm gonna take advantage of that.

 

[ShinAmano]

I cook everyday.

Tonight...smoked wings and pizza.

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

I cook every night. Take out is expensive

 

[Gunny T Highway]

Depends. I tend to order more takeout on the weekend.

 

[Deception]

Of course, i'd even say I cook more on the weekends because I have more time to prep and prepare. Typically save my takeout days for Monday or Tuesday.

 

[Violence Jack]

We usually cook Friday night, Saturday is when we usually grab takeout (or go out before the pandemic), and we cook Sundays.

 

[Deleted member 13101]

Any and every day. Will get take out as well from time to time, taking a break from cooking doesn't always line up timewise with the weekend.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I cook every day. That includes weekends.
At most I'll get takeout for lunch on a Saturday or Sunday once in awhile.

i cook pretty much every day. maybe one day ill buy out now.

i just plan my meals ahead so that meat etc is thawed etc.

 

[Mathieran]

I cook more on the weekends than during the week. Gotta build up some leftovers. Plus I can start earlier and make better meals

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Since I work weekdays, the weekend is the best time for me to cook since I have more free time during the day.

 

[Devilgunman]

I cook almost everyday even before shutdown. Save a lot of money

 

[shnurgleton]

uhh yeah? that's 6 meals dude you think I'm not eating unless I get takeout?

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Smoking a brisket now - been at 240 for the last two hours; will have 11lbs of meat to last me through the weekend by ~5pm tonight.

 

[Jmdajr]

At most we only eat out twice a week.

Sundays I usually cook "Junk Food."

 

[formatnone]

i cook almost every day, i really enjoy it, also it's good time for podcast consumption.

 

[The Albatross]

I don't think I've made food in my house on a Friday night in like 10 years.

Especially during lockdown we've made it a tradition to do takeout Thur / Fri / Sat night, BUT now that the weather is pleasant I've been grilling more on Sat / Sun. We kinda treat ourselves to take out on those nights, I usually pick up a bunch o beers too.

Friday mornings during lockdown I go out and get donuts with my 2 year old... Been a tradition for the last 3-4 months. I usually make breakfast sandies on Sat or Sun. English muffin, breakfast sausage, these trader joes hash browns (pretty good, you bake them, but you have to butter + salt + pepper them or they're flavorless and limp), cheese, egg, sriracha+ketchup mix. They're fucking good. unfortunately my daughter is still in semi-food-protest-age and so she doesn't eat them.

 

[Dragoon]

Wouldn't you cook more on the weekends than weekdays since you have more time? I love that I have the time to do that and spend 1-2 hours making some good shit.

And yes, I cook throughout the entire week and get 1-2 takeouts per week. Before and after the virus hit.

If I send you a postage paid envelop can you toss some meat in there and send it back? I'll use one of those security envelopes for extra durability

 

[grmlin]

we cook every day (more or less), so yes, we also cook on the weekends :)

 

[Rag]

I usually try to plan out something great to cook on Saturdays with enough leftovers for Sunday and a few lunches for Monday and Tuesday. It's relaxing to get a big batch of stew, or a roast going.

 

[Deleted member 31873]

I cook nearly every day because there aren't many good takeaways where I live in the Netherlands.

 

[Noppie]

I cook every day.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I cook mostly everyday. Sometimes less if I have leftovers. I like cooking, it's cheaper than going out, and I luckily have the time for it.

I live in KC so the odds my brisket turns out even half as good as five other restaurants around me are slim. I wouldn't be too jealous ;)

 

[HardRojo]

A mix of cooking and ordering food. I actually enjoy cooking, this quarantine has been good for my expansion of culinary expertise, I've learned to cook dishes I wouldn't have thought I would.

Well as a New Englander even the 6th best brisket in KC is will put whatever options I have to shame
