The children may ask:

What’s for dinner?

Well, what’s in the cupboard? 
What’s in the fridge? 
What meat is in the freezer?  
Can I make a meal out of what I have or do I need to go to the shops? 
What vegies are brown and limp? 
What leftovers are reading to ‘get up and walk’? 
What is a different meal idea? 
Will the family complain with eggs on toast for the third night in a row?
