Lesson 6 - At a Restaurant
p. 62 - use the pictures and sentences to guess the meanings of the expressions
1 cut down = eat less (“cut down on” = reduce, so you can also cut down on smoking or cut down on video games)
2 a side of = an additional (usually small) order of

6 Your eyes are bigger than your stomach. = You believe you can eat more than you can.

8 is on me = is going to be paid for by me (also, “is my treat”)
9 grab a bite = get something (small) to eat (quickly)

11 pigged out = ate in excess (= ate too much, from the idea that pigs eat too much, and messily)
12 doggie bag = bag to carry food home (so you can give it to your dog to eat)

chocolate + alcoholic -> chocoholic (I would always spell it with an ‘o’ in the middle)
workaholic, shopaholic (spelled with ‘a’)
