Dinner these days

"We should have dinner soon."

"Yeah. Anything in particular you want?"

"No. You?"

"No."

"But we should eat."

"Yeah."

...

"Mashed potatoes?"

"That's not a meal. We could order pizza."

"Not for me. No cheese."

"Oh yeah."

"What did we used to eat, before I stopped being able to plan dinner?"

"Let's see...pasta, pizza, potato-cheese casserole--"

"Hmm. I might be okay with potato-cheese casserole. Maybe."

"That's like mashed potatoes."

"It would take too long tonight, though."

...

"Mashed potatoes. I could have a ham steak. Those go together. What do you think?"

"I could try to find something vegetable-y to go with it. Is corn a vegetable?"

"It is to me. Okay then. Mashed potatoes."
