As people get busier and busier for their life style and career, they tend to go out and eat food from restaurants or other food stalls. But I still prefer to come home and prepare and eat food at home.
First of all, I find cooking food therapeutic. After coming from an exhausting day of work in office, it is fun to be your own boss in the kitchen. I can do what I want to do and do not ask for any permission or worry if I am doing everything right. It is fact that I know what I am good at and it makes me feel exuberant at this moment.
In addition, having food together at home is an indispensable part of family life. Someone might argue that it is convenient to eat at a restaurant, where all the work except enjoying the food are due to waiters. But just think of the black jacket and the white shirt you have to wear. No restaurant can give a totally free feeling given by home. And there is also a question of hygiene when you eat outside. By contrast, among close people, having a dinner at home can give an entire cosy atmosphere. You can dress what you want, talk with other family member in any way, and even play games or watching television while you are eating.
Last but not the least, it is very cheap to eat at home. At the stage of preparing raw material, you can buy vegetables and meat at proper price in super market. During the cooking time, you are your own chef, who of course will not charge you for any dish. When you finish, you need not to pay the tips or say “Keep the change”.
Based on the above mentioned point, it is better to eat at home in terms of psychological, social and financial reasons.
