What shall I fix for dinner??

I'm having a little problem this month. It's getting my brain to think about "what's for dinner!" See I'm used to my husband being gone most of the summer, and since we don't have any children, I usually fix something light for myself. Of course when he's home for R&R, I look forward to cooking him a nice home-cooked meal (although compared to fire camp my cooking is a masterpiece). Fire season has been unusually quiet and very slow. So I'm having to do more grocery shopping to fix him a nice dinner every night. And I keep buying avocados and tomatoes, hoping that the fresh veggies will be a sure way of sending him to a fire. Every wife knows that if you buy some fresh produce or a loaf of bread, they usually leave before they can eat it all, then it goes bad. However, I don't want to complain, because it's nice having him home with me in the evenings & during his days off. But I'm just not sure what tomorrow will be like and "what shall I fix for dinner?"

The other little problem is that up until "quittin' time" he can be sent to a fire. So if I start to prepare dinner about 1 hour before he's off the clock, I risk having a cooked meal and a husband that's gone. Last year, I went to the store to buy hamburger buns and coleslaw for a dinner. And wouldn't you know it, as I'm walking out of the store to my car, my cell phone rings. "Hey, just wanted to let you know that we're being sent to San Bernardino for a large fire. I probably won't be home for my days off (which were the next few days)." AGGHHH just as my gut told me when I was shopping. So I kindly walked over to my neighbor's house and gave them all the fixin's for a hamburger dinner. They were nonetheless grateful and the lady thought it was a bummer for me. So now I wait until about 15 minutes after "quittin' time" to go get the fresh veggies & other stuff. I usually shop about every 2 days, that way I'm not planning for a week and end up having all this food and no husband.

So I leave you with this thought "what shall I fix for dinner??"
