Day 18: November 28

Thanksgiving Round 2!
Today I traveled back to my hometown to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. The main course included baked turkey, ham, buns, stuffing, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy (with bacon & onions), and green bean casserole. For dessert...white wine and homemade apple pie! 

I could tell right away that plate size mattered -- everyone's plate was so much bigger than my 9-inch plate! However, I felt stuffed with the portions I had. Being someone who feels the need to clean their plate, I can't imagine how much more food I would have felt compelled to serve myself simply because if I had room on my plate.

I feel like the theme for portion plates really hit me during this holiday. Using these dishware has brought to my attention the importance of prioritizing and proportioning what I put into my body.

Day 18: November 28

Luis and I went to one of his favorite restaurants in Omaha- Big Mamas. He says Southern food is the only "real" American food. This menu is complete with pigs ears!

This is one order. Crazy amount of food! It's 3 meals for me. Luis and I shared it. 

We went there spontaneously while we were already out so I didn't have my portion plates with me. I still served myself to choose how much I was going to eat. It's less than half, but still a lot. I didn't even finish this! I took a good part of the chicken home for a lunch. 

Enjoyed the company- doesn't get much better :)
