I'm first generation Italian, and food is like a religion to us. Stuff from a can is blasphemy.

Second generation Italian/Pole here. My ma and dad made their own tomato sauce every year. They'd have sooner consumed rocks than anything in a jar.

My sweetie cooks excellent Mexican dishes and I cook the excellent Italian dishes, so we eat good all the time.

That's not to say that we don't love Del Taco or El Pollo Loco, from time to time though. ;-)

My husband loves Mexican food. He would be happy to eat it 5 days a week. Experience has taught me that men in general seem to really go for Mexican food. They seem to handle the calories better too. I know I'm stereotyping here, but it's true!!

Us too. In fact, we'll start doing that in about a month. We get a bunch of fresh, ripe tomatoes at the farmer's market and can enough sauce for the year.

EXACTLY. Some of that stuff is so bad!

I had a physician friend from Guatemala who introduced me to El Pollo Loco. I like it.

It is nice when both of you can cook. I like to cook, but not every night. One good thing I can say about my ex, he was a good cook. We ate well too:-)
