What Do You Want For Dinner Justice

Dinner. The eternal question. A daily struggle. What *do* we want?

Here's my unpopular opinion: Dinner Justice needs to be served.

The Illusion of Choice

We pretend to have options. "Anything is fine," we say. Liars! We all have secret cravings.

We play the "What do *you* want?" game. It's a trap. An elaborate dance of passive aggression.

Then someone suggests salad. Just kidding! No one actually wants salad for dinner.

The Pizza Plea

Let's be honest, pizza is the default setting. Easy, crowd-pleasing (usually), and requires minimal effort.

But then the pizza toppings debate begins. A war of pineapple vs. no pineapple rages. Casualties are high.

I say, order two pizzas. One for the weirdos who like pineapple. One for the sane among us.

Taco Troubles

Tacos. Another seemingly safe choice. But ground beef or chicken? Hard shell or soft?

Mild, medium, or volcanic salsa? The possibilities are endless. And endlessly stressful.

My Dinner Justice proposal? A build-your-own taco bar. Everyone gets what they want. World peace (almost) achieved.

The Pasta Predicament

Pasta. Comfort food at its finest. But which shape? Which sauce? The carbs are calling!

Spaghetti? Penne? Farfalle? It's all just noodles, right? Wrong! It's a matter of personal preference.

And don't even get me started on sauce. Red, white, pesto? It's a culinary minefield.

The "Anything But Dishes" Dilemma

The biggest crime in the dinner world? The mountain of dishes left behind. It's a tragedy.

Suddenly, "anything" isn't so appealing. The allure of takeout grows stronger. The siren song of the delivery app beckons.

Therefore, Dinner Justice also requires dish duty equity. A rotating schedule, perhaps? Or disposable plates (gasp!).

The Frozen Food Fight

Sometimes, exhaustion wins. Frozen pizza becomes acceptable. Microwavable meals are a delicacy.

We slump on the couch, bathed in the blue light of the TV. Dinner is fuel, not a celebration.

But even then, let's strive for Dinner Justice. Even frozen food deserves a fighting chance to be delicious. Season it! Add hot sauce! Live a little!

In conclusion, Dinner Justice isn't about *perfection*. It's about compromise, a little bit of effort, and maybe, just maybe, a shared laugh over a surprisingly good meal. Or at least, a meal that doesn't result in a family feud. Let's face it, even frozen dinners can be enjoyable with the right company and a healthy dose of humor.

So, what do *I* want for dinner? Something delicious. And someone else to do the dishes.
