1. My answer to this one would pretty much be identical to yours--except that occassionally I would want to eat out, mainly for the service and decadence of it.
2. I once had a six-course prix-fix tasting menu dinner at a very nice restaurant--it would have been about $150 or $200, but Dan won a 'free' dinner (we still had to cough up about $40 each for tax, tip, coffee--which was $6!!! by itself!, and the cheapest bottle of wine on the menu). The meal included (not in order) a 'Japanese breakfast', scallop stew, orange roughy with some kind of veggies, cornish hen stuffed with foie gras and more veggies, a sherbert, and some pastries.
3. At the moment, at home, I have about six kinds of cheeses (grated parmesan, chive cream cheese, regular cream cheese, some kind of high-quality non-brie--but some similar type cheese for serving with bread and crackers, fresh mozzarella, and sliced cheeses for sandwiches). And tomatoes in four forms (roma tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, pizza sauce, and marinara sauce).
4. Once when I was making potato soup, the blender kind of exploded. That was SO MUCH FUN to clean up.
5. I love cooking for others!
Tonight, I'm doing a really simple dinner of brown rice and caprese salad.
