Goes with the sign I posted at my chow line:
"Take all you want, eat all you take."
That's why I always use that same covered casserol dish whem I prepare
salsa for myself, because I know filled about halfway is what I can
eat at one sitting. Tonight's dinner will be a garden salad, I
already have all the ingrdients prepared and in the bowl, I know that
size bowl (24 cups) filled halfway holds enough for two, filled
halfway so there's lots of room to toss with dressing. I learned long
ago to use particular cookware as a gauge for particular quantity. I
prefer to use larger cookware so there's room to stir without making a
mess.
The salad veggies have already been drizzled and tossed with a bit of
vinegar to retard spoilage. I'm not sure yet which dressing, bottled
or homemade... with two of us I'm not who chooses the dressing. When
just me the salad would contain a substantial quantity of raw onion,
otherwise none. When home alone I typically prepare a basic
vinegarette. In summer when the garden is going we eat salad often,
then I'll prepare enough salad for two dinners... often I'll add
pasta, beans, both. We enjoy raw veggies, this is a typical winter
salad for two dinners:
