Carol Perkins: What's for Supper? Previous Column: Burton Ridge By Carol Perkins I'm at the computer, deep in a project, when Guy leans in the doorway. "I'm sure you haven't thought about it, but what's for supper?" It's five o'clock. I glanced up as though he's sprouted a second head. "I was thinking grilled cheese and tomato soup. What were you thinking?" His answer would have been nothing. Guy still lives like a seventeen-year-old whose mother had breakfast ready when he woke and a hot meal on the table at supper. I kept up my end early in our marriage (eager to impress) and while the kids were home, but now that it's just the two of us, I cook less--though I do still cook. He never does. So why does his nearly daily "What's for supper?" bother me so much? Maybe because I think it's high time he asked what I'd like to eat.
