Dinner on a smaller plate
Recently we have been using smaller dinner plates
Don't ask me why
Anyway
Yvonne cooked tonight,
Did it all herself
Even peeled the potatoes.
Done it all , and very well
Very tasty
Roast Chicken, Pork Sausages, Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy to die for.
These smaller plates are ok though, you can pile it high, have a heart attack and die, or, if like me you don't die you can go and pile it high again, which I did.
Yum
Do you like our smaller plates

Small plates aren't so bad, but over eating is when you get
up in age & not watch what you eat cause it will catch
up with you at some point in life.

@Ineeddentures "I will cross that bridge when I come to it"
That's what I'm saying, "surprised it hasn't already" you sure don't
want to end up like I did I'm sure.

It's still a 12 inch plate
But small compared to our usual dinner plates
I know over eating will catch up on me, sort of surprised it hasn't already
I will cross that bridge when I come to it , lol lf I can still cross bridges at all

I was gonna ask if you’re trying to do portion control by using smaller plates but seems like you aren’t. 
Your plate looks yummy. I’ll have roasted potatoes with fried shiitake mushrooms and onions for dinner. And my mom made eggplant so that will be my appetizer.

I eat a little, so always use small plates. My family members use a little bigger ones,but you can't call them too big.

@Ineeddentures A half or three- fourth of a small plate is enough for me.

Not me Judy.
If anything I seem to be eating more.
I didn't think it was possible for me to do that

Oh yes the smoked sausages you mentioned before
I must look for some, buy some and then we can compare my sausage with what you get served up in America

Restaurants know all the tricks right enough
Bit anything they do to reduce food waste is a good thing

Looks tasty. Some people use smaller plates to eat less.

They are nice plates.
12 inches across
And if you stack food on them vertically you can indeed get enough food on them

They are quite nice.
I do like plain white crockery
Plain and simple
Just like me
