If you search the web for “what to make for dinner” you’ll find plenty of advice. Plenty of recipes. Plenty of ideas. And plenty of women asking the exact same question. Someone, other than me…someone with actual technical skill and know-how, they should create a dinner generator. Either you press a button and random ideas pop up or you throw in a couple keywords like “chicken” or “potato” or I don’t know… “toenail” and then voila! the generator spits out some delicious ideas. If you don’t like the first one you can just hit the button again until you find something you want.
Go ahead, do it. Google “what should I make for dinner” and you will find a LOT of women (and some men too, I’m sure) struggling with the same question. Universally, the cry seems to be the same: I don’t mind making dinner, I really don’t. Just please, PLEASE for the love of God just tell me what you want.

A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.
Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
I’ve tried asking ‘what would you like?’, but they are much better at saying what they don’t want to eat. I’m in a rut with my cooking, you can tell what day it is by what’s for dinner.
I think that the ‘Dinner generator’ should do the cooking too.
Oh it’s existed for 8 years already:

I love your cooking so much that it doesn’t matter what’s for dinner. I’m a-gonna gobble.
What a relief! I will now toss out all my pots and pans and live the life of leisure I was meant to!
OK, but don’t throw out the Circulon one. That was a gift. From me. It should have sentimental value.
