this is another bona fide rant...a while back, my husband found out he was diabetic. he didn't see a nutrition counselor, so i surfed the net, devised a diet (which turned out to be the second phase of the south beach diet), changed my ways of cooking and voila! he was able to cut his medication dosage in half, just by watching his diet. well, he and i have both strayed away from the diet, and he eats whatever he wants. and then i bought him a book on understanding diabetes. he decided right then and there that he was going back on his diet (after reading), and that sounded good to me. and so back to cooking the right things, no cheating, etc.
i made a nice dinner tonight. veggies, lean meat, brown rice. i made the plate, not thinking. he stared at it. he said ...isn't this too much? and so i said..yeah...i guess it is. well, eat half of it and save the rest for tomorrow. next time i looked he was polishing off the rest of what was in his plate and he told me - i'll just make my own from now on. and he was UPSET.
...
what's wrong with leaving something on your plate?? i don't get it...while i was dishing, i was making tomorrow night's dinner too, because it's gonna be too hot to cook and heat the house up...i got a bit carried away with the plate, i guess. but when he said that, man - i was burned with a mile high flame, because while i was doing all that, he was kicked back on the bed watching television.
and so i told him - you sure can make your own plate! all you have to do is dip it up.
men. i don't want to understand them...
rant over.

I think I have read this rant before. Are you recyling them, or as the kids now days call it-sampling. ha ha Rant on, rant away, let the words flow and have a good day.

John likes to tell me what a good cook his first wife was. Wish I would think to ask him why he isn't still married to her. Paula
Are you sure we aren't married to the same husband?
They can be as pouty as kids, can't they?
