when meeting my friend for lunch
we decided to eat on the light side
share some apps
not knowing
the ‘apps’ were giants
no small plates action going on here
math is not really my favorite thing
but just by looking at it
it was clear
we had grossly underestimated
the sheer size of things
quickly and accurately assessing
that
we were in trouble.

An abundance of food simply calls for more chairs or a doggy bag. Glad you enjoyed your lunch out!

I always marvel when an appetizer is more of a meal than the meal.

Look at the size of those apps, Beth! So many eggs have their lives for that one deviled egg dish!! One less asparagus grove in that farmer’s field. I could go on. I hope some to-go carriers went with you two!

I call that a happy accident. And since many of us have been told to eat what’s in front of us because children are starving all over the world and would be happy to have it, I fear I’d end up stuffing myself to avoid the guilt of wasting food that others would be happy to have.

Oh sure, just order four appetizers and then realize each appetizer serves four. In a way, it’s kind of a happy problem.
