1. I know some people who are true menaces in a kitchen

because they can not or will not follow a written recipe and feel compelled to make ridiculous substitutions (salt and sugar look alike, right?); rendering good food totally inedible.. Eating prepared food is a big step up for them.

I also have a great deal of sympathy for people who just get tired oif cooking, delivery is great for those "I don't wanna cook" periods.

My only real complaint about delivery is that it starts to run into serious money. However, if the two career yuppies out there want to oiverspend, that's their problem. I'm not going to guilt trip them.

In fact, the only people I can pissibly dis for ordering their food rather than cooking it are the idiots who squander tens of thousands of dollars on a granite and stainless caterer's kitchen and only use it as a place to open clamshell containers from local restaurants. Face it, that's just plain dumb.
