What do YOU want for dinner?

This ever happen to you? The difference between men and women; something like that--

Me: What do you feel like eating for dinner?
Him: I don't know, whatever you feel like eating.
Me: But what about you? What do YOU want?
Him: Anything really, what do you feel like?
Me: How about Mexican?
Him: No, not Mexican.
Me: Well, do you want to eat then?
Him: I don't know, anything really, like I said.
Me: What about subs?
Him: No, not subs, don't feel like that.
Me: (sigh) What about Chinese?
Him: No, I'm not that hungry.
Me: What do you want then (exasperated)?
Him: Whatever you think.
Me: Fine, what about ChickFilA (insert whatever your next choice would be at this point I'm just throwing schmack out there)
Him: Naaaah, not that either.
Go ahead, shoot me now.
Me: TELL.ME.WHAT.YOU.WANT.TO.EAT!!!
end result of this conversation?
Sandwiches at home. PHEW!

It's the same grind many nights of the week. Cooking is not my fav thing to do. I wish I was born loving to cook but alas, twas not meant to be. I have to work really hard at it and sadly, even when I do, it still turns out badly. I'm too creative, I throw ingredients in that the recipe does not call for. This is partly because I'm Ms. Bossy Pants and I think the creator of the recipe is wrong and it really needs XYZ and PDQ. This let me tell you does not make for a good outcome. What is it they say? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result? Yep, that's me; insane. I wish cooking was something he enjoyed doing. What do you do if neither parent particularly loves cooking? It takes lots of my energy to be original and come up with great dinners all the time. And it also takes a lot of my small brain to have the above conversations over and over and over and over again; hey it's kind of like that insanity idea. Expecting a different result each time-and it's always the same, the very same conversation. Sigh.

I don't know, what do YOU want for dinner?
