Do leftovers leave you cold?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
At last night’s barbecue there was more food than any of us could eat. When I offered to parcel it out, all the guests politely declined except for my friend, Pola, who couldn’t have been more enthused. While most viewed the food as a case of “been there, done that,” Pola openly and enthusiastically declared her love of the leftover.
In my house I can sometimes pass off last night’s dinner as today’s lunch, but my family would revolt if I tried to serve the same dinner two days in a row.
While I remember growing up with an aversion to leftovers, I now love having them in the house for snacking, lunches and, if I am dining solo, doubling them up for dinner.
What about you? Do you yell “encore” for a repeat performance or is dinner a one-night show only? What will you eat twice in a row?
