Well, I discovered you can still eat a lot even without taking seconds. Ryan's method was to just to take a lot of food to begin with (but that could have been his normal serving size, the boy's metabolism is out of this world). The way I ended up over eating was thanks to my cousin's beautiful wedding. We had a huge Thai food feast and the dishes kept coming...and coming..and coming..and coming. I only took firsts (of all 5 billion dishes) but I have never been so full in all my life. All in all, we did a pretty good job of following this rule.
Also, speaking of FIRSTS I have had a few lately. I made an enchilada with tomatillo sauce and it was my first time cooking with actual tomatillos (in the past I have just bought the pre-made sauce). What funny little things and surprisingly sticky too. The dish turned out excellent but I forgot to take pictures. If you do not know what a tomatillo looks like I order you to go to the grocery store right now.
Another night I cooked some strange little peppers for the first time. I do not know the name of said peppers but I baked them in the oven covered with olive oil, salt, and pepper. We ate all of them. If you know the name please let me know because we want more (see picture below!).
As for Rule #54: "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper" I am going to need to switch my whole schedule around. Holy moly. I will have to get up earlier to cook a decent enough size breakfast. Did I mention Ryan leaves the house at 7:30am.....the time I usually start to wake up. Boo.
