we usually eat pizza or turkey tacos together - sometimes cheeseburger sliders. I got the crab cakes for my spouse - I wasn’t interested in them myself. I’m more interested in some cookies for dessert. Just bakery cookies.

my child isn’t dictating their supper but rather has expressed their interest. French toast tonight. We’re in a pandemic and I have time to cook. We all get to enjoy nice lives.

I was pretty open minded. Very few times I couldn't find something on the table to eat.
thankfully we get to express ourselves. Our child’s school already dictates the luncheon. I’m happy to allow choices. Obviously I had more limited choices as a child so it’s nice that we all get to enjoy more nice things now. Big trade offs because my childhood home was larger than where I now live. Total slumming here...
