Here's the downside of being a good cook; Going out to eat. Seldom do I eat anything that comes close to what I can make at home. So I'm typically disappointed. To find exemplary food would requre more money than I'm inclined to shell out. Whole Foods had scallops on sale yesterday. I think I'll make scallop chowder for dinner. A ceasar salad and french bread with a bottle of white.
I love eating out and cooking equally. I tend to eat out things I don't make myself. There is some regional bias though, where I live it is really easy to find good restaurants. Even at cheap price points. Other than the expense, there isn't a drawback to eating out, you can still find high quality and tasty food at a big range of price points.
It is good for me, when I have a ridiculously busy week, I know I can find some excellent takeout if I can't cook!
I like cooking and to me it's a nice time to spend together in the kitchen with someone you love, sharing a good meal, enjoying a little wine..... There are much worse ways to spend your time.
That being said, I certainly wouldn't "expect" a woman to cook for me. It's certainly not a "barefoot and pregnant" requirement I have.
What an (unintentionally) sexist post. Why is the expectation that women cook for men?
Do women choose men based on how they cook? It's not 1955 anymore.
I'm female and I have never prepared a meal in my life. Nor has my husband ever had the remotest expectation of this. Any man that expects their woman to cook for them is either living in the deep south or in a time warp back to the Eisenhower years. If a man wants a hot meal, why aren't they preparing it themselves?
Had to laugh at this, unintentional stereotyping anyone?

At what point does a good cook become a "foodie"? I fear I may have morphed into one during a gastromic event awhile back. LOL
I don't think it was high on my husband's list, but he once commented my food was like art.
I LOVE to cook, it is an enjoyable and relaxing hobby for me. Also, it allows us to eat much healthier, and saves a ton of money.
About 95% of our food is home cooked and not pre-made convenience food. I love to stock up the refrigerator with a bunch of stuff for lunches (chicken salad, salmon salad to be eaten in lettuce leaves, etc).
But if I don't feel like cooking.... DH will grill something.
