Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for February 10, 2023

And there will be leftovers until there are no more leftovers.

Amazed the kid lasted this long

And that is the reason you’ll be having leftovers tomorrow.

I’m cooking for just two. It’s often difficult to avoid left overs. It starts with the prepackaged amounts for many items.

There is a stuffed cabbage dish my grandmother used to make. She cooked enough to feed an entire infantry battalion. However, the more you reheated it, the better tasting it got. And this was in the days before microwaves.

I work nights and sleep days

My wife tries to make enough for herself and my granddaughter with enough left for me after work in the morning

Some days there is a lot, some days not

We are raising a teen

My wife deliberately makes more than a single dinner’s worth. That’s so that two days later I can have a single lunch’s worth. It is usually healthy stuff.

When my wife and I were overseas, we had a pet: actually he was a lieutenant that showed up when he was lonely or needed counseling. We claimed that he was cheap to keep since he ate table scraps. He liked our leftovers.

When I cook, I freeze most of it is individual baggies. I love leftovers, especially mine! LOL. Some people just can’t be good at everything.

And you’ll keep on getting leftovers until it’s gone. I cook for one. Portioning can be difficult.

It is an art to recreate leftovers so that the people eating them don’t even know!!

My brother in law won’t eat left-overs, even if he really likes it and is still perfectly good to eat, because “It’s left-overs. Why would you eat left-overs”. He just won’t get past that thinking

then don’t eat…

But it’s a Martha Stewart Recipe…

Ouch!

Whenever someone invites me over for leftovers, I always respond: “I’ll be rightover!”

We always seemed to have leftovers, but I never remember having the original meal, Mom was very creative.
