The one about rice bowls

 

These days I'm into making rice bowls for lunch and dinner. Because I have a troublesome "kid" (aka dad) who just wants to eat the protein and eat very little veggies (unless it's okra or eggplant which are his faves)...and very little rice.

He already gets 1/2 of what everyone else gets (we want him to finish and not waste food) but he will have  a few grains of rice with a huge chunk of meat (instead of a small piece of protein to a spoonful of rice). And he will keep taking protein to eat...and then struggle to "finish" his rice. 

But the house rule is if you can't finish your rice, you can't have fruit or dessert. It's okay to put the rice back in the p if you haven't started eating but you have to finish what's on your plate once you start. And did I mention that dad loves fruit and dessert? *LOL*

Anyway, the rice bowls mean that dad cannot add any more of the food he wants to eat. He gets the rice bowl with all the food and that's it. As you can see, very little rice and a lot of other yummy goodness. So it's been working so far. *winks*

Lots of fun bits on this layout....this gal is using up her stash! *triumphant music plays in the background*
