feeding an army?

Well this evening, my hubby and I went over to my grandparents house for dinner and so hubby could help grandpa set up his new computer. I have to say for being 78, my grandfather actually knows more about computers and such than some 40 year olds.

I love my grandmother. She is a little Italian lady with a heart of gold. The only problem with her, is she OVER cooks by a lot. I will share with you tonight’s dinner. She had 4 pieces of chicken on the bone (big pieces), 4 baked potatoes, 4 pieces of corn on the cob, soup, salad, and a brocolli mixture, along with homemade bread. Now when I think about all the food, I think about having 6-8 people over to eat it. Mike and I normally share a piece of chicken, and I am not a big potato fan. Plus she made soup, my biggest weakness, and then she still thinks I need to eat one of each of the items she made. I think not

Don’t get me wrong, her food it amazing, but it is just so much food. After everyone was done eating, we still had 2 bowls of soup left, 2 pieces out 4 of chicken, 2 out of 4 of the bread, one corn on the cob left, 1 potato left and half the salad and brocolli mixture. Now I did take the soup home, and she also sent me home with homemade pizza, but that will be dinner probably Friday night.

Even though I am pregnant, I am not eating for 6. No wonder when people come down they always want to go to Grandmas for dinner. She makes incredible food, but if you go there once a week, you start to look like our Italian family                Oh well, it is all good.
