All you can eat Chinese Restaurant

Being on a diet in America is a little like being a vegetarian at a wild game dinner. You just don't feel like you fit in, and you're probably thinking about it more than anyone else is. I was noticing this last night at the binge-and-purge-all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant in my neighborhood. I was spending my time grazing the shrimp dishes, especially the ones that were not fried while watching everyone else load down their plates with General Tso's Chicken and with spare ribs. The ones doing it were generally in the plus sizes, and watching them waddle up to the food bar reminded me a bit of a cattle stampede. When my father raised cattle down south, I learned very quickly to stay out of the way of the young bulls especially when they had that slightly crazed look in their eyes. I saw that same look last night, and did my best to stay out of the way of anyone with that stare, especially if they were carrying two plates mounded with food. I have never understood the two plates thing. Are they afraid that the restaurant will run out of food? Is the thirty foot walk back to the bar for seconds too exhausting? I also have a hearty soup recipe guaranteed to sate the biggest of appetites: Bear Creek Creamy Potato Soup Mix 11oz. Chopped Clams 6.5 oz Prepare the soup according to the package and add the clams. The recipe makes 8 servings at about 170 calories each. A double serving is 340 and that is enough for most appetites. Eat hearty
