You should not wait until the last minute to plan the mealshare meal (like, prior to 5:25 would be good).  If you do wait until the last minute, you should only attempt this Level 10 endeavor with a well-stocked cupboard, which I did not possess this evening.  If you foolishly forge ahead, you crazy Last Minute Lulu With Your Bare Cupboard, you should expect the unexpected.  Like maybe someone needs a ride home from Secaucus during rush hour, and you need to pack up the kid and spend prime dinner making time sitting in traffic on Route 3. 

In conclusion, being uninspired is not the same as unprepared.  I'm thankful that I have such a flexible mealshare partner who not only was cool with having a late dinner but even picked it up on her way home (thereby affording my kid the opportunity to eat his meal before passing out from low blood sugar).
