Why do I say this you wonder?

I roasted an 8.53 lb Chicken yesterday.  This is what it looked like after Gpa P ate

All the dark meat, part of the wings, part of one breast.  With a can of cranberry sauce.  No rice, no broccoli.  He said there was no room in his dish.  I had hoped to get a few days off of it like we were able to do with the ham and turkey.  I will stretch it, but wow.  I wish I had his metabolism. 

I did get a serving for myself of breast meat.  DH was just annoyed.  I think he had a salami sandwich. 

 I will salvage the rest for Italian Chicken soup. 

I also baked brownies on Sunday and Pumpkin Bread on Wednesday. 

Please note, I share the Gpa P food consumption for giggles.  I am happy I can afford to feed him.  It makes me sad that I feel sometimes he doesn't think anyone else in the house might want a large or second portion.  I just tell myself it is helping me budget wisely and to keep DH and mine weight in check.
