Why do leftovers have such a bad name? I am having "leftovers" (I don't call it leftovers because I cook lunch the previous night) for lunch as my hubby is enjoying lunch at home with in-laws. Yum. And now MIL is on a quest to make sure for as long as she is here we will never have leftovers for lunch. My FIL pitched in the reason, "The food will be cooked fresh in the morning and will be still lukewarm at lunchtime." This made sense in the days when we didn't have reheating devices such as a microwave and refrigerators.
Maybe they think I don't have access to a microwave at work and think I am eating the food cold? hmmm... that just hit me. Because they do eat leftovers and are not the type who will just throw it away for whatever ideological beliefs - there are people who do that! In fact, MIL finds creative ways to make a whole new dish with leftovers. Something I want to pick up from her.
ah heck. I am not complaining. Who will complain if mother is volunteering to cook you meals everyday?! :D I am not that stupid. In fact, people say my strength is that I know when to pick my battles.
