There were times when I was younger when I went straight from work to some
other activities and I might not get home until the wee hours, then, I
didn't do a lot of cooking at home although the cooking that I did do was
usually brought to work as lunch.

These days I only dine out when I have to. I don't like dining out.

I can't remember the last time we dined out. We prefer my
food anyway so it
is just a waste of money.

And yes! D. is the one who says so
