I recently enjoyed a 7 course vegetarian dinner. By the 4th course, we were all feeling full, even though the portions were quite small. I think the complex flavors, and the good company helped satiate us, not to mention the short-lived euphoria of eating healthy. But add my vote to never giving up chocolates. Life’s too short to give up such pleasures.

Ellen, yes, it could very well have been made during the depression, though I think that is a bit early for this piece…and hence would have been called Depression Glass. However, the pressed refers to the manner in which the plate is made, literally the molten sand/silica/whatever is pressed into that shape…and oftentimes, you see seams, etc… Gosh, such chocoholics for readers! Wait till you see what I have lined up for the run-up to Valentine’s!!! :)

Love the pork bbq! I can almost taste it. I believe the plate is called ‘Depression’ glass. It was called that because it was made during the depression in the 1930s. It was produced as an inferior version of ‘Carnival’ glass =)

I second joey…I will never give up carbs and chocolate but I’m very careful about eating in moderation =)

When my mom started dieting, she would insist that we all use partitioned plates and eat the same food on her list. Outcome, we all have different eating times or in my case, most of the time I eat out.

A strict, healthy diet of course contributes to good physical well-being but I couldn’t deprive myself. Moderation, active lifestyle(I don’t go the gym) are my keys.I used to weigh 120 lbs, for 3 years now I enjoy my weight range of 98-100 lbs. I tried South Beach Diet which worked but IMO, not a good choice for a long time diet plan.

Your lunch fits in perfectly with my diabetic diet. It looks really good!

Shucks, I forgot to add. The statement above is a personal observation and has no medical claims to back it up. I admit that I might be wrong somewhere but I’m sure that there ARE certain cases which defy explaination :)

Diet is simply DIE with a T :)

Ironically, a vast majority of those who diet are either diagnosed with a certain sickness and check out early (they either go up there or down below; Shittybank people definitely have a one way ticket down) while those who scratch the word diet out of their vocabulary still get diagnosed with a related ailment but miraculously live longer than their counterparts. Oh and before I forget, they check out all smiles :)

Diet is synonymous to discipline, and unfortunately I don’t know the meaning of discipline, hehehe.

Nice plate, MM.

Nice plate! :) My grandmother gave all of us her old stuff for Christmas and we all loved what we got…

Everything in moderation, and quality versus quantity, is the way to go…and for me the only thing that will work because I will never give up carbs or chocolate…
