What's for dinner?

This can be a struggle in any household. Even where there are no allergies or dietary restrictions to consider, why is this so hard? The response to "what do you want for dinner?" should not be "anything" or "whatever you want". That is rarely ever the case. You think you are doing the other person a favor by not being picky, but really you don't want whatever it is they are about to serve. A better way to do this would be to offer options. Would you like chicken or beef for dinner? If the answer is neither, say that. Don't say it doesn't matter and then complain later. But here is a hint, anything I don't have to cook would be just fine.
