So as mentioned it cost more to buy all the stuff than to just go out for hot pot and that also comes with a lot less options unless you REALLY want to spend more than just going out.
What are you eating?

Homemade orange chicken for dinner tonight.

You essentially cook the meat in the broth right then and there right? I’ve never done this but I definitely am intrigued by it.
Yeah, raw meat and fish get dunked in the boiling broth. A big part of it is custom making your own dipping sauce.
It's awesome! Most hot pot restaurants are AYCE so you can just keep requesting whatever items you want.
I think I've mentioned before but the best thing about where I live is that as soon as I walk out of my apartment complex there are about 10 hotpot restaurants with all different styles. I love making sauces at them.
I am not a cook or a foodie. Most of what you all discuss is over my head, and I'd never have the patience to make most all of it.
This is a version of what I eat a few nights per week in the summer, depending on what's in the fridge. This one is mini shell and ditellini pastas with Canadian bacon, shredded cheddar, peas & carrots, olives, mushrooms, mayo, Miracle Whip, and lemon pepper. Cool and easy. And would probably bore most of you to tears.

A new hotpot style for me today. This is a guizhou hotpot from an ethic minority group there. It's base is very good! It's a lemongrass, tamato, spicy, and sour soup. Then the sauce has home home dried peppers mixed with a sauce that includes a local vegetable that is spicy and kind of tastes like fish its a very unique taste. These ones are pickled for the sauce. Oh, this is a beef one. The beef is very good, this is more often a fish hotpot though.

Also these blood noodles might be the best noodles I've had!
While I'm at it, here is two nights agos dinner. This is the traditional Beijing style hotpot. It's usually lamb with sesame sauce. I also usually have my Sichuan style sauce with it as well, which is the most popular hotpot in China. Well, I guess maybe Chongqing is the most popular, but they are pretty similar.
The vast majority of westerners couldn't eat traditional Chinese food. Even a lot of Chinese can't handle different traditional regional food. For example most people not from Beijing can't handle their pig intestine dish or their mung bean milk which is sour and smells like eggs . I like both, but I'll eat anything.
