Yummmmmmmmm!!!!
\nI’m having lunch, and I need to thank Cop Car and HH for it! Usually the term “leftovers” has a terrible connotation to it, but that’s not the case today. I’m eating Country Rigatoni. I was served so much last night that I brought at least half of it home, and I’m happy to tell you that this is one of those dishes that’s even better the second day!
\nThank you, both for a great dinner, and even better company!<\/p>\n
\nWe did the grocery shopping today. I usually shop twice a week now because we’re eating more fresh fruits and veggies. I had to clean out the fridge to make room for the new food, and it focuses the thought that I need to either freeze leftovers, or start cooking less food.
\nI have to throw away a container of beef stew. Granted, it was on the salty side, so probably freezing it would have been a waste, but so was storing it in the fridge. One of DH’s favorite meals is pork chops and browned rice. We don’t prepare it often, because we’re trying to cut back on carbs, but I needed something soft to eat last week when I had a filling replaced. I ate mostly rice, and he ate mostly pork chops. So….I had a container of that waiting to be frozen or pitched.
\nDear Husband brought home a salad he had picked up for dinner on Friday night, while he was getting the Arr!! ready to come home. That’s going to be pitched. And, I have a serving of deli coleslaw that has to go.
\nLast week I made a 13 bean bouillabaisse with shrimp, and there were TWO containers of that taking up space in the fridge. I would have had some of that for lunch if the Country Rigatoni hadn’t been calling to me. So, I suppose that will get pitched, too.
\nWe simply need to cook in smaller quantities. Or, we need to eat more left overs! Short of that, I’ll be taking reservations…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
