I’m always asking Tyson what he wants for dinner because I
want him to have what he wants and I don’t want to make something he doesn’t
like. The response I usually get is either “I don’t know, whatever you feel
like making” or “I’ll think about it and let you know later.” When I ask him
‘later’ I’ll either get the first response “I don’t know, whatever you feel
like making” or he’ll suggest something that required forethought (like
defrosting chicken or picking up something on the way home from work) which is
why I asked him early on what he wanted so I could do those things if
necessary. Now it’s dinner time and we have nothing to work with.
(To be fair A-Tyson is not a picking eater B-like me he also
wants me to have what I want and C- he doesn’t like me having to go out of my
way to do anything for him so I think that’s why I get the “whatever you feel
like making response”)
This Sunday is fast Sunday so last night I asked him what he
wanted for Sunday dinner. I know he’s going to be starving and I want to make
sure we have everything we need in order to make whatever he wants. He told me
“that’s days away don’t worry about it”. The last time I listened to this
Sunday meal advice we had to scavenge and ended up eating this:
Not very appetizing at all, which I know is surprising
considering its spam like qualities... (Jennifer is being kind here. This was God awful. I wanted to put exactly what came to mind for what it tasted like, but I was overruled because kids might read this blog and Jennifer didn't want them learning any of those phrases from me. If you want to know what they were, text me sometime).
This morning we were having breakfast and I asked him what
he wanted for dinner tonight and he laughed. So I told him he could be in charge
of dinner for the next week. He agreed and promised me that we wouldn’t starve.
I told him I’m not afraid of starving during the next week, I’m afraid of
severely depleting our food storage and eating top-ramanator like meals for the
next 7 days…I usually pack my lunch for work, but I may be eating out for the
next week.
Picture of a top-ramanator from Tyson’s Facebook page with
the quote: “(Mashed potatoes+cheddar+bacon+turkey+tomatoe+avacado+egg+ramen
brick)between two slices of bread= best sandwich ever.”
(It's true. It is the best sandwich ever)
