When you say your dinner plans are flexible now, I read something about how many folks just wing it with meals. The writer talked about using whatever's left in the fridge, like making pasta when you meant to cook chicken. Why does food never go as planned? My neighbor always keeps frozen pizza for nights when she's too tired to cook. It seems like everyone has their own quick fix for last-minute changes.
This seems like a bigger thing where plans don't really mean much. Whether it's food coming late or changing what's for dinner, it's all the same. Just got used to going with the flow.
