Default At what time of day do you decide what's for supper?

Good point. I'll buy a tomato too!

I don't mind coming home and helping my wife with dinner and in the
summer, I grill a lot. My wife will do the veggies and/or salad while
I'm doing the rest.

I just don't get too excited about making something elaborate when
eating alone. I can see a lot of leftovers though. Roasting a
chicken is pretty simple and it would make a lot of meals for one
person.
