When someone says they're going to cook dinner and they don't.
And they don't...
And they're still not cooking anything...
Then it's eight o'clock at night and no dinner.
It's not that I'm one of those people who expects dinner to be ready at a certain time or anything. It's that if something comes up and that person isn't able to cook or doesn't want to then it would be nice to know while there's still time to both think of something to cook and cook it. I'd be more than happy to cook if someone else isn't able to or doesn't want to, but there needs to be time and energy to figure out what to put together, make sure you have the needed ingredients to put it together, go and fetch the needed ingredients if we don't and to put it together in time so that we're not eating at ten o'clock at night.
I've also discovered that I can get incredibly irritable when hungry. Really, really irritable.
ETA: I forgot to say that family is staying with us, and that means people who volunteer to cook if they have specific dinner ideas or want something only they know how to make. I'm usually the cook of the house but I've been more than happy to step aside and let others prepare dinner... that is, if they prepare dinner :/
