I usually cook dinner during the week, and a couple times a month I make an easy one bowl meal which consists of sausage or chicken and maybe some shrimp that you fry up with some veggies and mix it all together with a box of Zantarain's rice.......I usually use the black beans and dirty rice variety. Anyhoo, during the cooking process my quality control/taste tester/product research assistant(missybear), will enter the kitchen and throw her opinions into the mix and ultimately start reading labels from the ingredients and start spouting information which usually enters my left ear and travels straight through and out the other ear. Well the other night when I was preparing this feast, she was reading the empty box of rice and said to me "did you know a serving size is 3 tablespoons?" And I'm thinking, 3 TABLESPOONS I probably spill more than 3 tablespoons on the floor preparing said meal. I mean what's with these serving sizes??? Eighth of a cup.......3 tablespoons........2 and a half servings in a can of soda! Who do they think we're feeding??? The 7 dwarfs??? 3 tablespoons doesn't even fill a shot glass! Do you read the portion sizes??? do you follow their recommendations??? They say a steak should be the size of a deck of cards.........if I order a steak in a steakhouse and they bring me a steak the size of a deck of cards, there better be a half a chicken sitting next to it. .........just sayin'
