I frustrate my wife with this logic all the time.

I’m make a plate of nachos (I’m a pro at this point and plate it all with a bit of onion, three types of peppers, a bit of thick chili, jalapeno peppers and cheese … then layer it all … make a small layer, bake it, then make a second and sometimes third layer!) and serve it all with sour cream, salsa and guacamole.

She’ll eat hers like a rabid animal and by the end of it will be frustrated because she either has left over nachos with no dips or way too much dips left and no nachos. She gets frustrated and either wants to ask me for a nacho or two to finish her dips or just gives up and tells me to throw the rest away.

Meanwhile, I’ve perfectly portioned all my food so that my last bite is a single nacho loaded with the last bit of chili, salsa, sour cream and guacamole … sometimes I even factor in that she will have extra dips at the end and I’ll finish hers too.

No better feeling than that last nacho chip with everything on it and knowing you have a clean plate with nothing on it.
