Do you cook, make, prepare or fix your meals?

I'm from the Northeast originally. When I grew up we made dinner. When I married DH, whose roots are in the south, I picked up the word 'fix'. At first I thought it was cute, but eventually it just became the way I say it. A friend called me the other day and I told I was fixin' dinner. She had a good laugh over that.

Which do you say?

Cook or make.

Fix is what I do when I have to ""improve"" on someone else's cooking.

Prepare sounds like putting it together- like using a rotisserie chicken and a bag of salad.

I fix it but many nights I'd rather forget it.

I cook, make, and fix....whatever happens to come out of my brain and mouth. I never prepare.

I think I say make. Not really sure, usually I just go do it, and not always happily. I like to cook, but would enjoy more breaks from the everyday dinners than I have been having the last couple years.

Fix... more times than not. Sometimes, make or cook...
