Does Size Matter?

The other night my wife and I had a late dinner.  She had gone grocery shopping on her way home from work, so we decided to keep it simple.  We ended up having Chef Boyardee Beefaroni and salad.

In order to make sure the we both got enough to eat, I cooked two cans of Beefaroni.  Beefaroni or Mini Ravioli has become a common meal for us when we would go camping.  But we always needed to take the big can so there is enough for both of us to have a meal.

As we were eating dinner, I was reminded of my childhood.  Chef Boyardee was a common meal camping back then as well.  However, while we need to take the big can, my mother managed to feed four of us with one regular sized can.
