Eating Out
No, not that, I'm talking about patronizing restaurants. I eat out for lunch a lot more often than I'd like. I inevitably end up eating more than I ought to, spending more than I needed to, and mildly regretting the whole thing as I pat my ever-expanding belly in the mid-afternoon. The same is more-or-less true of dinners I eat out: usually bigger than I need, and far more expensive than eating in.
So why go?
* I tried to think of a good euphemism for "fatter" but then I realized I was trying to think of a euphemism.

So why go?
- Convenience: making food takes time and effort, starting with shopping for ingredients in advance, with an eye toward what I think I'll want to eat several days hence.
- Socializing: eating together is a ritual of significance in every human culture of which I've heard. We ate with parents or family as children because we could not make or buy our own food, we grow up eating with friends and family. It's hard for me to turn down an invitation to eat with others, and I feel especially rude doing so.
