Hi, Mark,
You crack me up. I have a similar situation. When we got married, I gained about 15 pounds from eating all that rice. Even when I told my wife I don’t want any more rice, she cannot comprehend it. No rice!?!! How can this be?
We joke that even our dogs are now Filipino. They can’t eat a meal without rice.
I joke to my wife that “Rice is Life” to her. My waistline can do whiteout it.
Yes, my honey feeds rice to the dogs. I thought that was strange, but it's what they do.
