It has been a long day and I am too tired to cook. Let's get takeout.

This is basically my partner every night. I am the cook at home because I typically have more juice after work. Of course, here in NYC we call it delivery, not takeout, since most everything comes to your door. But I hate eating cold delivery food so if we eat out I want to drag her out with me, or at the very least I offer to walk to pick it up (true NYC takeout!). This is usually incentive enough to convince her to cook at home so we don't have to bother traveling to the restaurant.

When it comes to the trilemma, I am always willing to sacrifice time for value and quality. I guess maybe I don't value my time as highly, or I am willing to sacrifice my time to preserve value since it seems I always have more time than I have money. For my father, a successful lawyer, he is always willing to sacrifice more money to save time. I don't think any of us are really willing to sacrifice on quality, no matter the time or cost.

Now I'm curious to examine my partner and her behaviors. I'm pretty sure I know what she would sacrifice (quality), but I wonder if she's admit to it or not.
