Dinner decisions can be complicated here because we both like so many things.

The other night Lyman was cooking pork roast, stewed cabbage, and a choice of baby butter beans or field peas with snaps.

"Do you want butter beans or peas?"

"I don't care. I like them both."

"We need to decide something here."

"Okay. Are they in the indoor or outdoor freezer?"

"Both are indoors."

"Is one bag closer to being empty than the other?"

"They're about the same."

"Where are they in the freezer?"

"In the door."

"Are they on the right or the left?"

"They're both on the left."

"Is one higher than the other?"

"The field peas are higher."

"Then let's have those."
