1. Do you mostly prepare your meals at home or do you eat out more?
We mostly eat at home because eating out is expensive, not healthy and you can't be sure of what number of carbs you're consuming for mum and I to take the right insulin. Many places that say they give their stats end up being way off or the fats involved impact absorption ect. I chef the majority of the time, or I did until I got this job. Mum and I are now a more even split. To be fair to dad he gets in last and is also not a great cook so it is best to not let him in the kitchen. He has a solid history of forgetting he has something on and murdering a saucepan.
2. Is there a time of day when you are more likely to buy food already prepared?
Lunch time. If mum and I are out shopping we will probably treat ourselves to lunch, even if it is just getting a roll out a bakery or something
3. What is your average weekly grocery bill (for how many people)? What is your total restaurant/fast food bill for an average week?
I have no idea as I do not do the food shop. I think it is around the 150 mark, including alcohol. Mum goes several times a week and it varies from week to week anyway depending on what spices, pastas, meats we need ect. As we have a chest freezer as well as our combo we are lucky to be able to afford and store bulk purchases to save money that way. Last year we spent a fiver on rice in an offer once but it was 5 kilos and therefore the only time we bought rice.
4. What is your favorite meal to prepare at home?
Stirfry. It is quick, easy, healthy and very simple to substitute ingredients mid prep when I realise I am missing something.
5. What is your favorite meal to order in a restaurant?
Something that takes ages to prepare. I do not mind lots of little steps or prepping lots of ingredients but I hate spending ages cooking. I also hate prepping red meat so I am more likely to get some sort of meaty stew when out than cook it myself. I try avoid anything I make at home with any sort of regularity unless I don't like anything else/don't think I'd get the insulin right.
