The Dinner Treadmill

What am I going to cook for dinner tonight? 

Every night it’s the same dilemma, like a treadmill that I can’t get off.  It’s not that I mind cooking it but it drives me crazy having to work out WHAT to cook every night of the week. 

On Friday and Saturday nights we either go out or get takeaway for dinner so you would think that I would get a break. Then hubby comes home and asks "What ...
