I do my food shopping weekly - so it's normally a case of choosing
something from the freezer. But it can take anything up to an hour (on
average) to arrive at a 'consensus' nonetheless.

Take this morning for instance. We'd decided on chicken so I took some
out the freezer - but then the question of "So what we gonna do with
the chicken?" came up. I looked thru' my recipe software, and didn't
see anything I fancied, flipped through a few of my recipe books but
didn't find anything in them that I felt like either... So I ask DH for
suggestions. He starts googling for recipes - and we eventually settled
on chicken schnitzel. This recipe to be exact:

Gonna make some mashed spuds and some roasted butternut to go with it,
methinks.
