 ST> The first year we went outside we spent a month at Apache Junction,

Too bad the husband wasn't into cooking... he could have just taken over
for her at that point...  :)  

 ST> As a rule for Connie and me...if we went out for more than 3 or 4
 ST> days, typically on vacation, we got really tired of it. 

For me it would make a difference how much variety I had in places to go
out... But too many days in a row, and I'd be skipping out probably,
too... finding snacky stuff instead, if cooking wasn't an option...  :)

 ST> We spent about 2 weeks in Fiji, trapped on an island, and when we went
 ST> on to New Zealand...we went to the store, bought a loaf of bread, some
 ST> jam/jelly, some peanut butter, and a liter of milk.  Had a picnic on
 ST> the beach, it was wonderful! 

A definite change of pace, there...  :)

This week is going to be atypical for us...  I came home late yesterday
from helping with my mom, and was expecting to cook something for
supper, especially since the next four days I expect us to not be home
for supper...  Instead, he took me out to an asian buffet...   Tonight,
we are doing our traditional eating Korean for Christmas Eve after the 5
pm service at church; tomorrow, we'll be sharing Christmas Day with our
friends Fu and Lin at Taste of Japan (possibly joined by a mom and her
son who otherwise might not had anyone to share Christmas with);
Saturday, my extended family is getting together at my sister's house to
celebrate Christmas, that at least will involve some home cooking along
with boughten stuff...  And then on Sunday, it's 4th Sunday when a bunch
of us go out together after morning service...  That will be at a
Malaysian restaurant... :)  So, five days in a row not eating home... ;)

... Everyone is of some use, if only to set a bad example.
