Perfunctory
Adj. Lacking in interest or enthusiasm. Mom’s boyfriend Jerry came over last night and made us dinner. I have to admit, it was pretty good: Mushroom risotto, a salad with lime cilantro dressing, and home-made sourdough rolls. (He’s a vegetarian.) It sure beat Mom’s usual perfunctory dinners (spaghetti, baked chicken, sandwiches). If Jerry cooks more often, he may start growing on me.
