Men mostly: What are you making your companion for dinner tonight?

1. I hope someone takes your advice tomorrow!

It arrived a bit late for today, 5:00 pm PDT. Tomorrow, you'll have time to hit the market, fellas! If you can think of a food you'd like to try making, look up a recipe online!

My husband's parents rented a house on Lake Tahoe for a week in the mid '80s, and invited their three grown kids, one grandchild, one grandma, a DIL, a SIL, and me, a girlfriend at the time. The Mom is a mathematician and doled out the dinner-making duties by figuring out that half of us have birthdays on odd numbered days, half on even numbered. These two groups would alternate evenings preparing dinner for ten.
I complained "OH, No! My group consists of an eight-year-old girl, 93 year-old-grandma, three men, and me!" All three other women, the three best cooks, were in the other group, with my future husband. His mom chuckled and said to me in a low voice, "Just get the men to barbecue!" And it worked out fine, partly because I made spaghetti one night, and they did a lot o' grillin'!
