Blake, we do agree on the above. Declarative statement: I'm a fairly
light eater. That said, I swear I'm getting some sort of eating
disorder, b/c menus often actually ruin my appetite. I can't tell you
the menus I've gone through trying to find something that suits that
isn't a) pasta or b) salad. I'm not keen on pasta or entree salads,
but often the rest of the menu(s) Is Just Too Much and actually puts
me off. Consequently, I usually order a side salad and an appetizer of
some sort as an entree. Maybe a bowl of soup.

What is also off-putting is when my smallish order is commented upon
by fellow diners and I feel the need to apologize.
