It's been a long time since I've seen a post from you on this thread.

I was going to comment on the topic you bring up, which is managing portions. It's taken a long time for me to be able to do this, but I'm now using recipes more as a source for ideas. I usually halve it because it is nice to have a few items in the 'frig for when I'm too busy to cook or for lunch the next day. I'll bet posters here have all kinds of ideas on how to manage portions, so I'll be starting a thread on it in the next few days.
