Perhaps when I have a kitchen that makes getting the bowls easier I will serve that way more often!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09025074547529568579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836367425610922362.post-16717987641938898382007-08-29T14:25:00.000-07:002007-08-29T14:25:00.000-07:00I have just started plating our meals because I ma...I have just started plating our meals because I make 4 servings and we would end up eating way too much. I thought is accounted for weight gain in both of us. I allow seconds on sides but not on the main dish. Part of that stems from churchable taking the leftovers to work for lunch. If there are no leftovers then he gets no lunch.<BR/><BR/>I most likely will do so for a sit down meal. BBQs are a different issue - that is a grab what you want kind of thing.chrispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584150287855552956noreply@blogger.com
