Coffee anyone ?

[Granny Heeney]

Coffee is on.
Leftover pie, apple and peanut butter...I think. Left at a family get together...so not mine.

Apple and peanut butter? Ooooh, how'd that taste? I'd try that.... Especially now, I'm waiting for payday and eating leftover leftovers LOL Thinking of going out and free-ranging with the girls just for a change of pace

It reminds me of a caramel apple when I ate it as a kid

leftover leftovers? I get it though... Just me here so anytime I cook a standard family sized meal, I'm eating it for days... Turkey, pork shoulders, roasts, etc.

Same here with just 2 of us in the household, but as I do almost all the cooking, I set a 3rd day limit, otherwise the fridge gets cramped for space. If we haven't eaten it by the end of the 3rd day, it goes out no matter what.

I set a 3rd day limit,

That's pretty much what we do. If it freezes well - I'll freeze it. If not, between dogs, pigs and chickens nothing is really 'wasted.'

Except for turkey after a holiday, I very rarely freeze leftovers. As I told the wife, "If we didn't eat it in 3 days the first time around we aren't going to want it a few months down the road either".
(people food is among the least of my expenses)

People food is hugely expensive up here.

We eat it until it starts to go bad. Yeah. . Starve or eat the leftovers you hate.

And if they do start to go bad the chickens get them.

Going in now for a blood draw... wellness thing.

"If we didn't eat it in 3 days the first time around we aren't going to want it a few months down the road either".

I think the issue is "We've already eaten it 3 days in a row and are sick of it NOW". Might be perfectly tasty heated up out of the freezer in a week.

3 or 4 days is usually the max for leftover food. I normally bring leftover the next day for lunch.

with two teenage boys in the house plus me (who is a powerlifter) very seldom do we have left overs. In the rare instance we do they are gone the next day
