Too Much is Not a Good Thing

In the Holiday Season, delicious food is on everyone's mind when there is a gathering. Rich food, special foods, time-consuming preparation in immense quantities.
But Too Much lessens the impact of the food. I think the Japanese have a good handle on food: beautiful presentation, just a small tidbit or two to enjoy the full taste, with the carbos coming at the very end of the meal.

Limit the number of choices for your next party. Get a handle on the portions. We only have so much space in our stomachs. Make the food look pretty. Make the food smell wonderful. Give every guest small plates to keep them from overloading and pigging out. It is all for their own good!

The sharing of food is the sharing of love...between the cooks and the guests, between family and friends.
