nice visual!!! lol lol I knew you were my kinda a girl friend!!
Hey y'all are on a roll here (a dinner roll? ), this discussion is on track to beat the "Paulding Light" thread as the longest thread on the board!
<hr size="2" width="75%">I have to tell ya I learned a thing or two about portion control while in the hospital cardiac care ward for a week last fall. (Actually fairly decent victuals in a hospital, how about that!) I was astonished at the fact that I could have much smaller portions and not be hungry shortly after. I also refuse to give up ice cream, but I have discovered that it is possible to satisfy the craving with a small (½ cup) portion, while anything more amounts to gluttony. Hey it's working, I've lost 20 pounds so far (of course the cardiac rehab program & exercise helped too); now to see if I can knock off a 'nuther 20 and get back to my "fightin' weight" of 175-185!
We also used to have a brilliant, creative chef, Jeff Beeson, who had a small restaurant (Convivo) in a nearby strip mall in Phoenix from 2001-2005. Incredibly creative menu options, all very pleasing to both the eye and palate, relatively small portions, almost in the French style, but with a unique southwestern theme; extremely pleasant and satisfying fare, yet no need to forgo appetizers or desert, and no "doggy bag" needed! Also no need to loosen da belt, or use a "tummy sling" as you stagger to the car after the meal, just a very pleased, satisfied feeling.
This was the antithesis of the Claim Jumper experience, where they almost have to bring your dinner, in Fred Flintstone portions, to the table in a wheelbarrow! Oink!
Jeff Beeson was a brilliant rising star in the restaurant business. A whole bunch o' "chefs" could have learned a lot from him! I'm so sorry we lost him at such an early age!

I usually decide. If it's up to my husband, we are having frozen chicken breasts & noodles. It's his 'go-to' meal. I hate it. But I'm with everyone else. I get sick of the same old thing. I think we need a recipe thread- I'll bet we could all pick up a few new meals for the usual rotation.

Julies have you tried the stick and does it help? (Just kidding) I love to go out to eat for the simple fact it is 1 less meal in my lifetime that I have to cook. Looking through cookbook to find some new recipes so I can hear him say "what is this" and give me a look like how dare you fix anything different or turn up his nose. He doesn't do it all the time but once in a while and sometimes I have to agree with him. Things look and sound good but don't taste so good. I just keep trying to please the guy by keeping his tummy full. What is that saying (the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.)

yes i do eat that too.
all this food talk got me thinking of S.O.S. or chipped beef on toast my mom used to make for me when I was little. Have to have her make some up. My wife and kids don't know how I can eat it. But I don't know how my daughter can eat creamed herring out of a jar, that stuff makes me sick looking at it.

Creamed Herring is fantastic. You Know the Dutch were the first to eat sushi not the Japanese!
