I hate it when I say "I'm going to make x for dinner." and everyone continues to play console games and says "Noooo, anything but x!" for all values of x.
'I'm still making x for dinner unless' (this to any adults who may be around) 'you're going to make something else.' One needs to be autocratic about these things: there's no room for democracy at the dinner table.
I'll try that! Certainly 'well then, what do you want?' doesn't work. I once fed the adult sardines and ice cream and got no complaints. Yesterday I served 1/4 heads of cabbage and crackers and got no complaints ...
At this point I'd stop saying 'I'm making x for dinner' entirely and just make what you want. Sardines and ice cream? Cabbage and crackers? *Computers* couldn't predict what that kind of palate wants to eat.
