Imagine no decisions... 

I've been on vacation, at a wonderful place in Maine where my husband's family has gone for decades (I'm a relative newcomer with only 12 summers so far). Besides the lake and the kayaking (and this year, paddleboarding) and the music and the mountains and the trees, there is wonderful food. Wonderful not only because it is beautifully prepared (and the Maine lobster is plentiful) but because at this resort there is virtually no decision making at meal time. I find this extremely relaxing. I love cooking, I really love eating; I abhor figuring out what to make. There was a story this past week in the NY Times that suggests many people feel this way, as they are paying services not to deliver food or cook for them, but simply to tell customers what they should make and eat -- they are paying to have their decisions made for them.roast chicken by A.

I thought I might try offering this on the blog. Not a pay service, but once the school year starts I'll post what I'm planning to make for a few days running in the hope that it might save someone else from having to stare blankly at a stack of cookbooks or a partially empty fridge. Would this be helpful? Feel free to comment below.  Meanwhile, enjoy the waning days of summer.
