megnut has a post up about Getting too full during a great meal, which includes some great tips for those of us who constantly need to pace ourselves:
In general, I try to avoid eating much during the day if I know I’ll be going out to a big dinner someplace special, especially if it’s the kind of place where I’ll likely order the tasting menu and be eating for four hours.
As always, there are great tips in the comments section of the post as well.

Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.

In an effort to make up for all the premium ice cream we’ve been treating ourselves to lately, the husband and I have been sticking to salads only at night.
Because we didn’t feel like preparing anything ourselves tonight, we ordered in- and went with California Pizza Kitchen‘s bestselling Original BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad, a favourite of ours.
The guy who took my order over the phone was nice and all, but I’ve got a few bones to pick with them:
We requested extra cilantro. There must have been a misunderstanding between order and kitchen, because what they gave me was no avocado instead of extra cilantro. Grrr.
And then there was the price. Our bill shows that: one full-sized BBQ Chicken Salad (with no avocado!) cost P395, and half-sized Waldorf Salad (which was particularly mediocre) cost P425. Hmm. This, plus Value Added Tax, Food Tax, and Packaging Charge, meant that we spent a total of P1005.81 for one salad, and one half-a-salad… really not worth it.
