- checker 14y agoI love leftover day, it's the easiest and cheapest meal of the week.
- PotatoEngineer 14y agoNot everything is good as leftovers. A fair amount of Chinese food, salads, and cooked vegetables don't reheat well or don't make good leftovers.
- sray 14y agoIsn't that the kind of not-valuing-food mentality the article talks about? Your reheated vegetables are going to be overcooked and your fried-and-sauced Chinese will get soggy, but they're still edible. They still provide sustenance. I love fine food, but not every meal has to be amazingly delicious. In the end, it's about putting energy into your body, so why not lower your standards a bit and eat last night's soggy orange chicken for lunch? As an aside, you can improve your leftovers with proper preparation. For example, yaks_hairbrush above claims that chicken strips and fries don't reheat well, but I reheat fried foods in the oven regularly, and they're perfectly edible.
- kamaal 14y ago>>They still provide sustenance. People who have luxury don't really worry about sustenance.
- yaks_hairbrush 14y agoThe meal was chicken strips and fries from a restaurant kid's meal. Does not do well as leftovers.
- mistercow 14y agoOh, well I guess the first problem is that you should probably be feeding your children food.
- yaks_hairbrush 14y agoSo, we're agreed that it's good that she didn't clear her plate on that meal?
