Just a, ahem, little for lunch

He Who Is Here Now and I battle a bit on food serving sizes. His suggestion is always, "don't eat it all if you're not hungry." He does the vast majority of meal preparation. Of course if it's on my plate, I -- reverting to childhood and hearing mother's voice writ large in my limbic brain, chanting "clean your plate" -- always eat most everything heaped there.

The photo is of my lunch today -- that's not the serving tray, that's my individual plate's worth.

I ate nearly all but at risk of couch coma for the afternoon gave up to the eating machine (He Who is Here Now) about half my rice (brown, you'll note) and a third of my Korean pancake. The pot stickers, omlette (rolled and cut like sushi roll, btw) and steamed veggies (note my influence on menu there). A lovely dipping sauce of soy and vinegar and "llight your colon" sauce of some sort -- oh wait, I'm told the heat was in the pancakes not the sauce -- rounded out the mid-day snack.

I note that one carrot seems to be attempting an escape...
