Friday Fun Stuff. . .

You know, it 's not a wonder everyone I know is watching their weight . . . including me!  A few weeks ago, as we were dining out, and I notices how huge hamburgers are these days!  When I was younger, which was a long time ago, hamburgers were just a normal size, french fries came in a little bag, and the drinks were just one size, unless you ordered one for a child.  Now, just get a load of these burgers!!

We really giggled about this burger, my mom could hardly get her hands around it, let alone take a bite!!  She finally cut it in quarters to eat it, and then half of it went home with her.

Then, get a load of this big boy!!  Needless to say, we ended up bringing half of it home too, it was just huge!! And notice the fries, they really fill up the plate!  I guess it's time to start sharing a plate with my husband when we go out to dinner!?

Have a great week-end everyone!

Hugs,

I really don't like the HUGE portions that every restaurant makes out of their menu items now. I always have to take half of it home. And really - if you can't get your mouth around it? Seriously???

I must admit that those Hamburgers and fries looked so good. We do eat one once in a while but not like we used too. It does seem like the serving today are so huge. Loved the picture of your sweet Mom!
Blessings, love and hugs for you all~

Those burgers sure look yummy, but I totally agree that we don't really have to look very far to see why we have some of the health problems we have in our country.

Sweet Barb, I do love hamburgers! I can even remember, as a child, eating a hamburger three times a day on vacation (breakfast, lunch, & dinner at an IHOP). I must say THOSE you posted look so delicious and definitely not TOO big for me! :-)

Oh boy, that is one delicious looking hamburger!
Love your Mom's approach... elbows up, fingers clamped...***smile**.
Reminds me of the way Guy on Diners, Drive-in's and Dives eats a burger!
What a pro!

Hope that this is a good week for you.

Oh, I could go for one of those yummy looking burgers right now, Barb! I wish I'd had taken a picture of the tenderloin sandwich my hubby ordered just a couple of weeks ago. It was as big as a platter! I told him after we got home that we'd have to go back sometime and he could order another one just so I could get a picture. lol! Your sweet mother looks so cute trying to eat her sandwich. Hope you have a wonderful day and week ahead!
Hugs, Cheryl

Hello, I have popped over from Kerin's blog.

Burgers are BIG these days at most places-especially Red Robin
I usually take part of mine home too.

Have a super day!
