Plates?
Hmmmm. I suppose I could start buying those paper towels that have the perf lines closer together....
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, and if I eat out, I try to split the dish in thirds, and only eat a third.
yeah, I sometimes ask for a box when the food arrives, and put the extra in the box immediately. Then I don't have "just another bite" and "one more" until it's not worth saving. If I'm still hungry, I'll eat what's in the box, but that almost never happens.

You know, my dad had a "you can't leave the table until you clean your plate" sort of upbringing and he HATED IT so we never had that.
We had that, but we also had the key counterbalance of "you serve yourself". Like Kathy though, I still have a very hard time leaving anything on my plate, which is problematic in restaurants. And, one of my best friends from college, even in the most casual circumstances, will plate her husband's and my food. Drives me crazy.

Huh. I think I may have food poisoning.
Kinda wish I didn't.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It totally rocks, sumi, try it.
Top Chef: WTF is right, for both things! That was just completely wrong and upsetting. I hate Marcel with the best of them, but yeesh.
Anyway. I'm glad they'll get their shot in Hawaii, but I think this competition has turned really ugly. I wish they'd found some other way to work out their problems. It's just not fun to watch.
Also? What is up with Elia and chocolate? The fumes must trigger her breakdowns or something.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, about food on the plate? Turns out I had the opposite thing. Evidently I almost always left food on the plate, at least a bite. I never knew I did it, though, until my SO finally told me. I knew I did for like, fast food. I'd get to the end and the last bite would just seem completely unappetizing. But I didn't realize I did it always. Very odd. But the small plate thing seems to have cured that, too.

I think I may have food poisoning.
A friend swears by espresso with lemon juice. In France, I got great fizzy lemon tablets from the pharmacist when I had food poisoning (needless to say, with their tendency to recommend suppositories for almost anything, I was relieved). So maybe something like Emergen-C would help? I've also heard cider vinegar. I guess the theory is kill whatever bacteria is causing it.
On a hopefully unrelated note, Top Chef: Well, that just sucked. I wish Cliff had go home for his boring/not great dish instead of that. But I think that he was completely out of line.
