Unit 617. I don't eat out often.

< 본문 >

I don't go out to eat as much as I used to, but I will occasionally( )to reward myself.

English On The Go

I actually just got back from lunch, and I had lunch by myself.

I don't go out as much as I used to do. I do a lot of cooking at home.

And there's a lot of different reasons for that.

One, I'm trying to save money. Two, it's healthier.

I don't know exactly what goes in my food when someone else cooks it.

But when I'm cooking it, I get to decide what goes in and what stays out of my food.

And that's kind of why I've made that shift.

But every once in a while, I feel like going out

because I'm stressed out or I just need to reward myself for working hard.

And that's what today was. Today, I was stressed.

I was by myself but I thought, “I don't want to cook. I want something delicious, healthy.”

And, well, I didn't want to clean up afterwards.

So that's why I went out to eat today.
