Default Making the dinner

First of all, its not very often i make the dinner, but seeing as i was in most of the day doing paperwork . I thought i would try my hand at making a curry.

Headed off to Asda & got some fresh cooked chicken, some sherwwods curry sauce mix & some boiled rice.

Got home made the dinner, all tasted fine so dished up two portions.

Now the question is ????????????????

When dishing up do you give equal portions of the meat or do you give more on one plate ??

I usually give myself more meat & give the other half a smaller portion with little meat

Anyone else do this or am i just a selfish, greedy b*stard ??

You need to get Chris Rocks stand up DVD. It explains everything - the man of the house always gets the big portion.

And first finished helps the rest

I do majority of cooking in our house as I used to be a chef.
What happens though is I always give the wife the most food and then make her feel guilty while she eats it. She always asks " are you sure you've got enough etc".
Mind you I don't tell her I've been eating all afternoon
