What about leftovers

[LizStreithorst]

Someone on my cooking forum posted this link about the history of leftovers http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/10/an-economic-history-of-leftovers/409255/?utm_source=atlfb

What do you think of leftovers.  For me, I love them for their flavor which is better than the first day.  I was shocked to see that there are some people who won't touch them.  I'm not a fanatic about not wasting food but my leftovers that I'm tired of get recycled via the dogs.  Veggies that got too old, and veggie trimmings get put in the compost which is right outside my kitchen door   The only things that get taken to the dump are citrus rinds and garlic skins.

We have leftovers a lot, but usually eat them the next day. On day 2 they have lost their appeal. We do occasionally freeze things, like spaghetti sauce.

I love leftovers. My granddaughter that used to live with me hated them. She ate them when I refused to make new meals until all of the leftovers were consumed.

I discard my citrus rinds down the garbage disposal. It freshens them up a bit.

Leftovers are a big bone of contention with Lucy and me.  She doesn't like to eat them and I don't like to waste them...it's just money thrown away in my opinion if we don't eat them. I grew up that way, She grew up with a father that refused to eat them. It's a pain for us, I tell you!
