Since there is only the two of us we make a small batch of cornbread in an 8 inch cast iron skillet. Today I cut the corn bread in four pieces. My wife said that's too big, you don't need to eat so much. So I cut it again making 8 pieces. While I was busy eating my beans and slaw my wife noticed I was about out of cornbread so she handed me another piece saying you need another since those pieces are so small. So it seems if I eat a forth of the cornbread I'm a glutenous pig but two eights is perfectly fine.??? Someday I'll learn...Yeah, right.
When we were younger my wife used to make shoo-flies pies for the family(actually 1 for the family and 1 for me). But that stopped when I needed to get bigger pants.
If I serve my Honey a meal I always end up putting to much on his plate and he ends up eating all he can and covering the rest with foil for later. So like your wife @Sheldon Scott I probably would have taken a second look at that cornbread and thought you needed an extra piece too.
