Odd combinations of leftovers you've eaten for dinner

[Hatshepsut]

Sometimes we have really odd combinations of food on the dinner table, because I hate throwing out food so I serve up the last little bits even if it doesn't match whatever else we're having.

For example, last night we had spaghetti and meatballs ... and samosas with chutney.

Have you had any meals like that lately?

[Sarahfeena]

Funny you should ask. My husband is out of town, so I've been eating leftovers every night. Tonight, it was pizza, and when I was done I was still a little hungry, so I ate some stuffing that was not enough to save for a meal for all of us.

I frequently make a "3P" sandwich, to the delight (and disgust) of my daughter.

I use leftover thin-crust pizza as bread, and make a sandwich of peanutbutter and crushed potato chips.

Yummy.

I'm sorry, dude, but that is revolting.

I bet that's good, actually. Although I don't plan on any empirical research to find out.

I can see the potato chips. But the peanut butter makes me a little concerned.

Since I read all of your posts in James Garner's voice, this is particulary saddening. :wink

Actually did the 3P thing this morning.

It was an onion and garlic thin crust, Baked Ruffles, and creamy Jif.

Awesome.

I also had leftover pizza for breakfast. Pure and unadulterated. This is the only supposed-to-be-hot food that I can not only eat cold, but I actually pretty much like it just as well that way. Yum.

I'll eat anything we've got when it's just me at home. A little cold Chinese and maybe a cold slice of quesadilla and then maybe some cheese and then maybe some cold beef stew and then some crackers with peanut butter on the side. I can successfully graze an entire meal out of the fridge in about 5 minutes just having a bite or two of everything and a few beers.

I like to call my fiancee when she's working late and say "Hey, I'm going to stand here with the fridge door wide open and drink a beer while I poke and sample anything I want to in the fridge and if something really strikes my fancy, I'll just eat it right out of the tupperware in front of the TV or computer without even warming it up." Drives her bonkers.

I am glad that you hear me is Mr. Garner, because in spirit, we are one in the same.

Let me guess: you do all of this harvesting with a single soup spoon, dipping from one container to the next. There's nothing like pulling a single, enormous, 3 ounce bite of cold chow mein out of the little trapezoidal carry-out container with a big spoon. Mmmm.

Or just one fork depending on what I'm going after, but of course. I lick the utensil clean before moving from one thing to the next, so I'm being clean about it. :wink

You're not a real man unless you're in only underwear when you do this.


PS: Oliveloaf, you're gross.

OMG, I know, right?!

You win.

My 3P Pizza is only gross because of the lack of marketing behind it.

Were it repackaged as the California Pizza Kitchen Thai Crispy Taro and Peanut Pizza,

people would pay $13.50 for it.

The fact that this is true doesn't make it any less gross.

I seem to have picked up bachelor-guy eating habits from somewhere, as I have been known to eat a couple handfuls of stale croutons and a few spoons of peanut butter and call it 'dinner'.

Leftover Chinese? Quesadillas? Cheese? Beef stew? ::checks fridge::

Peanut butter? Crackers? ::checks pantry::

The last time that I had a dinner like that was the Tuesday and Wednesday following Labor Day. I sat down to meals of reheated burgers and dogs and tons of salads. My family never thinks about the amount of people who are showing up for events and instead makes food for at least 5 extra people.

When we have leftovers from dinner it's usually made into lunches the next day.

Sounds awesome. Peanut butter on plain cheese pizza is one of the reasons I'm so fat...
