I’m not really sure what that is in Arlo’s hand, perhaps a chicken bone of some kind?
I do like how some foods seem to be better the second time around as leftovers. Chili and wet salads often taste better to me as left overs, though I’ll never turn down any leftover grilled meats.
I’m forever hearing about how a day later some of the connective tissue has had a chance to break down and improve the mouth feel (e.g., pot roast). Arlo knows.
This strip aside, I have noticed often there is one cook and one non-cook in most homes. The non-cooks often say they do not like leftovers. I probably would choose a fresh meal every day too, if I never had to do anything to get it.
Sigh…. A few months ago I had to concede I am allergic to chicken. Not seriously so, but it won’t go down my esophagus reliably. I used to be able to get a couple ounces down before the spasms began but eventually I was lucky to get past the first bite. Turkey is okay; years ago I learned Cornish game hen is much worse.
When a friend rented a lakeside cabin, for his vacation,he invited a group of us for the weekend. Long story short: Cold BBQ’d ribs are a great (morning after) breakfast.
Whenever I have potential leftovers (I could eat the rest of it now, or save it until later), I always stop and think “Would I enjoy it more now or later?”. Most often, I feel I could easily eat more, but I figure I’m getting a bit full and would enjoy whatever it is more the next day than stuffing myself now. Of course this requires that enough is made in the first place to have potential leftovers! Arlo’s thinking/planning is brilliant!
I can relate. Usually when I’m done cooking I’ve sampled so much that I’m full. But then again, I did get yelled at for eating a cold ear of corn on the cob in bed. My wife startled me so bad with her surprise that I nearly dropped it into my bowl of cereal. Sheez.
Thirty years ago we moved to this house from our apartment – the two big things we had been waiting for a house to enjoy were ice cream (apartment fridge did not have a real freezer, just one of those colder sections and ice cream melted in it) and grilling outside.
At first husband would grill all sorts of food outside – then he needed a nap every day after work – he got up too early to go to same – so there was not enough time after he woke again to start grilling over charcoal as the charcoal took too long to be ready (and of course a mere female who demonstrates cooking over a wood fire at 18th century reenactments can’t cook on a grill), so little by little we stopped using the grill and then he said it was too dirty and icky to use – mice in the shed it is stored in. I offered to buy a new grill and was told that cook two burgers or hotdogs for two was not worth the work. Steaks out of price range and, apparently, chicken too chancy to cook on a grill.
But this past year I have cooked (in the house) among the holiday l foods I cooked – two spiral sliced hams and two turkeys – each for two people. A lot of leftovers from them.

Some dishes improve overnight but I always felt the closer to the grill the more savory the BBQ.

Never works out for me. I’ll cook for a family weekend and wife sends the leftovers home with the kids. None left for lunch sandwiches. Gah!

I miss wings.

Looks like a pile of chicken breasts on a plate but where’d the wing bones come from?

Leftovers and revenge are best served cold. As is ice cream. Or shave ice.
