jules: I suppose so. But it gets boring eating out.

anon: Yep!

frugal: yes, but it gets too expensive when it’s just the same damn food over and over again… you’re just eating ‘out’ and you could eat it in the hotel room

I think you all are missing the point. I am talking about DOMESTIC travelling NOT international, for one thing, and quite frankly I’ve done the travelling thing to different cities and it gets BORING.

koko: BF does

LAL: You’re totally missing the point.

I wasn’t referring to international travelling at all, if you read my comment above.

I was talking about DOMESTIC travelling within North America. How many times do people travel often to other countries?

Quite honestly, most people stay where they are or in the vicinity of the area. I’d be really really freaking surprised to hear people travelling to Europe every year, twice a year, or to Japan twice a year, and if they did, they have family there who can feed them on the cheap.

To me, most of the food in the States is deep fried, fatty, and usually not very good. I can make better in a hotel room (or BF could), with the same ingredients from a store. Plus the restaurants are the same in the States as in Canada. Different name, same crap unless you go to the high end restaurants.

Domestic travelling = cooking at home is a lot better. I don’t care if there’s a philly cheesesteak out there, I can try it once, but probably make it better in my hotel room or not ever have to eat it again.

You can’t make it exactly the same because they won’t sell you the fish. Priority fish is given to the stores!

And mat rolled sushi is not sushi. Nigiri and maybe Handrolls is sushi. Babe, when a japanese person takes you out for sushi go!

PS Sushi in the states doesn’t compare, hawaii’s not bad. But they have different types of fresh ahi/tuna. Also the raw mussels, scallops, etc is to die for. Although out East it’s not bad.

Also in Vancouver, the salmon. Both smoked and raw is phenomenal.

Did you know all top fish goes to Japan to be graded? Then resent out after it’s been evaluated? So eating in Japan is fresher than going to eat elsewhere.

And in China, Korea, Asia in general, I like stand eating. Not sure if it’s hygenic though. Good thing I have a strong stomach.

THX FOR INSPIRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU DO IT WELL!!!!!!!!!

The kitchen in the apartment I’ve rented in Paris looks awesome in the pics, I cannot wait to go to the market and get goodies to cook !!

Eating out a few times will be a big treat too, not too often to make us tired of it…

Yes, BF loves to cook. Prefers to actually, than to eating out.

And I prefer eating than going to a restaurant (now) unless it’s a really good one, because he is so damn good in the kitchen…..

He says he’s “chained to the kitchen” but he loves to cook so he can’t use that against me any longer
