What's For Dinner Next Week?

Please don't say hot dogs.

To be clear, I like a hot dog and I appreciate the MANY excellent suggestions I received on Tuesday for how to make hot dogs more exciting for adults. But I already know that will be on my menu, along with “choose your own sauce” pasta (another genius reader suggestion). That leaves the two “parents choice” nights up for grabs. And I need inspiration! Maybe you do too!

So for this Friday Thread: Let’s talk about what’s for dinner.

If you’re a meal planner, tell us what you’re planning for next week (and who you’re feeding).

If you’re not a planner (VALID LIFE CHOICE), tell us about a dinner you made and loved recently or are excited to make at some amorphous point in the future.
