Not to mention, at least at a home, you can always get seconds if you
are still hungry.

I am pretty proud of my efforts at reducing my portion size. Monday,
we were supposed to go out with some people on the field at the airport
where Rich works, they wanted to take him (and me) out to thank him for
his efforts with them and the airport. They ended up having an
energency issue, and dinner fell through. Well, we had the babysitter,
we had a buy one get one coupon for a more expensive restaurant in our
town, and we thought we might as well go out together anyway.

We split an apetizer, each had salads and our meals. Rich got the
garlic roasted crab which was caught locally that morning, and I got
some alder planked wild salmon which was flown in that morning from
Alaska (they weren't sure if it were caught that morning or the day
before). When I received my meal, I realized that about a third of it
would have been enough for me to eat, so I filled up on the veggies,
butternut squash, zucchini & red pepper, and ate part of the salmon
(which was exquisite) and a few bites of the smashed yukon golds. Took
the rest home, no dessert. I was full, the food was enjoyable, and I
had a nice lunch the next day which I was able to share with my
children.

Regards,
Ranee
