We live in Europe. We just got back from a week in Florida. The trip was
wonderful, the food was, too, but there was just too much of it. After a
week of eating my way through those gigantic portions, I got sick. Colitis.
It always happens when I eat too much.
I have never figured out what to do about this problem. I know there are
Senior Menus for old folks like me, but they are so boring. I just never
want to see another chicken breast. I disliked white meat fowl even when I
was a child. The Senior Menu reminds me of the child's plate I disdained
then, because it didn't offer enough choice. Nor is the doggy bag a
solution for us. When you're in a motel, and are going to move on the next
day, how do you keep the food refrigerated? Or reheat it?
What I would like to suggest is "travelers' portions". Half the size, so
you can eat it all at once, and not overeat or feel guilty about having to
leave the food.
Does anyone here have any other suggestions for dealing with this problem?
