The rule in our family is we try never to throw out meat. If some animal has been slaughtered for my nourishment and/or pleasure, I don't think it's right to waste that meat by throwing it in the garbage. That probably goes back to growing up on a farm where I saw our animals being hauled off to market. Some of those animals, especially pigs, you can kind of develop an attachment to them when they are born right there before your eyes.
"Trash Day" Lunches
- Thread starter coolerifyoudid
- Start date
I constantly eat leftovers but I have some self imposed rules when it comes to the fridge. The date on the milk is when I stop drinking it, I know this is wasteful but it's what I do. Any type of meat leftover has to be eaten in 3 days. I don't know where I got this number but it's what I use.
My wife also has some weird eating/shopping habits. She just continues to buy the same shredded cheese over and over even if we have 5 packages of it in the fridge. She also doesn't like to re-use BBQ sauce. I think it's something about it being cold.

Future collectible? I just read somewhere today that they are shutting down the last place that makes these,
I'm big on leftovers. I combined two meals into today's lunch. I was was a little pissed this morning when I went to actually make a sandwich. There was one slice of turkey left. One. Slice. I live with heathens.
I also haven't bought lunch on a work day for months. Probably no more than 10 times in the last 10 years. Everyone else in my family will eat some leftovers, but I am the king of leftovers. I would prefer to eat leftovers rather than bringing a lame sandwich I made. I sometimes get upset with the Mrs. when she throws away things like homemade cookies because they are a few days old because she only likes them warm out of the oven. You don't have to eat them, just don't throw them away!
I'll throw stuff away here and there, but it drives me crazy when it's produce because that **** is crazy expensive. So a lot of times for dinner I'll end up making a protein and veggie bowl with some kind of dressing or sauce to tie it all together.
Me and my cargo shorts are gonna put a New Balance up your ***!
Leftovers are great. A lot of pizza is better cold than it was hot.
That is the most insane thing I have ever heard. Grounds for divorce in 47 states.
What about kissing? Or sex? You're gonna have to make some choices at some point.
Or maybe not.
I take leftovers every day for lunch. Once in a blue moon I'll go out. Same with my wife
I'd like to think it saves thousands of dollars a year for my wife and I.

For whatever reason, when we make pasta or chili, I am more excited about eating it the next day than the day of. I'll purposely take smaller portions the day its made in order to have more to take to work the next few days.
These are two of the best things on the planet as leftovers!
I have always thought chili was better reheated. The flavors have had a chance to marinate.
