Me: Whatcha hungry for?
Her: Dunno
Me: Tacos?
Her: NO!
Me: Pizza?
Her: NO!
Me: Barbecue?
Her: NO!
Me: Chicken Salad?
Her: NO!
OK, what do you want?
Her: I dunno, you pick!
(Love that woman!)
N
...except the conversation CONTINUES after that.
her: I dunno, you pick!
me: ok, I'll whip up some stir-fry and rice.
her: no..we had that last week.
me: how about red beans and rice?
her: oh gawd no, you make it too spicy.
me: ok..what DO you want?
(wait for it)
her: I dunno, you pick!
rinse and repeat....
Its an old joke, but a true one,
How do you make a woman forget about every restaurant in the world?
You ask her where she wants to go for dinner.
Me: Well we could just stay home and make wild/mad passionate love.
Her: Well I have really been wanting to try out that new Mexican place.

Her: The 'Steak' Dinner at the Capitol Hotel sounds Devine...
Me: Doe's Eat Place is closer...Bill liked the tamales...or Cracker Barrel...Chicken Fried Steak Plate Special?
Her: The Capitol...go find a necktie...
Me: Yes dear...
Here is the secret to getting a woman to agree to a place for dinner ... My husband hasn't figured this out but my crew chief did!
We'd start talking about lunch right around the time he finished his coffee ...
"What's for lunch?", he'd ask.
"Where are you going?', I'd reply.
At that point, he would TELL ME what he was eating.
After that, I was free to get something there or, if I wasn't in the mood for that, I would know the restaurants in the vicinity and I would be forced to pick my own.
Ta-da!
I am not sure if he possessed that skill as a husband though ....
Cripes, I must live on a parallel planet or something. The whole 47 years me and the ole bag, err SWMBO, have been married I've always been "told" that stuff. Never had to ask a question once. Options were not a consideration. 😉
hmmm .. the soup nazi approach might work here, if i knew how to cook anything besides bbq and mashed potatos.
Does anybody remember "bangers 'n mash" James Herriot?
Bangers and mash is one of the greatest reasons for living, and mushy peas!
"Go get take out."
"Why don't we just go out to dinner."
"I don't feel like going out."
I don't know, BBQing seems like the way to go over here. you can always grill a bunch of different things, and nobody really says no to leftover bbq.
Lesson lately has been marinades. Deb wanted the last brisket marinated in some kind of worcsetrereer sauce/recipe deal, and i hate experimenting with marinades, they don't always taste worth a flip. Lesson learned, always stick to rubs. Grilled fajitas last night and chicken fajitas work well with a marinade, beef fajitas, not really.
Laughing here. This is like me giving advice on the proper operation of escalators and high-speed elevators.
