I gave Daughter the chore of peeling 3 potatoes. I told her I was making soup and asked her what she wanted in it. She said anything but potatoes. I told her there would indeed be potatoes regardless. So she said if there had to be potatoes, they had to be cut in very small chunks. Really? I cut the potatoes in half inch chunks or smaller. That passed her inspection. She also gave the requirement that there had to be plenty of tomatoes in the soup as well.
I often cook “without a net” or without a recipe so looked in the refrigerator for the ingredients. Dinner was edible with few grumblings from the kids. We call that success.
