What's for dinner?

Neither M or m make decisions well. This REALLY affects our eating habits. M never has any opinion about what's for dinner, and m couldn't care less if she ate most nights. So, the other night, we were trying to decide what we wanted for dinner, and you guessed, it! We couldn't think of anything. M said jokingly, "We need a dinner jar. When we can't figure out what we want, we can draw a meal from the jar." He was just joking, but m thought that was a GREAT idea! She tweaked his idea a bit: she wrote down 22 dinners (random number I know. That's just how many pieces I cut the paper into Ü) and had M draw them out. She wrote down a meal for everyday for the next 22 days and they had their meals all planned out so they don't have to worry about what's for dinner every night!

So far it's been handy. The first night we had chicken (supposed to be parmesan, but we didn't have any mozerella cheese) and yesterday we had quesadillas! Tonight we get to have Mexican Salad, Mmm Mmm good!

So, if you can't ever decide what to do for dinner, this idea works great! Now we don't have to worry about dinners until the middle of August! Maybe we will save money by not running out for McDonalds or Jack in the Box.
