That's it. I'm not cooking anymore. There's too much here already.
In my fridge, I have leftover:
* Turkey chili
• Brown rice
• Orange chicken
• Mushroom risotto
• Vegan Chapchae (Korean noodles)
• Meatloaf and mashed potatoes and ginger carrots that I'm sure have congealed together by now (restaurant)

I officially have more leftovers than anything else (except condiments).

Tonight, I think I will put these in individual portions and freeze what we don't eat.


This is ridiculous.

1. I know exactly what you mean
I am struggling to keep up with the leftovers too. That's my main reason for not eating lunch out.

2. It's insane, and worse this week because we cooked for v-day, and then
again yesterday for company...

Things should abate a little once we're officially moved in together, but I'm not holding my breath...

4. I love leftovers - I always eat them for lunch the next day.
So I never go out to lunch. Well, unless there is a group thing or something.

I don't know how these people who go out every day do it.

5. We would be broke. MrG sometimes gets something from the truck
that comes around at lunchtime, but I frown on this...a couple of times I noticed expiration dates well past due on wrappers in his truck. I have made lunch for him everyday, that I haven't been in the hospital, since our wedding day. I tried to figure out how many that was once...It comes up to 3,000 give or take 100. :hi:

8. I bring them on occasion, and my SO will pack a lunch frequently...
We're still buried here. Seriously. I OD'd on cooking this past week, and the chili recipe made gallons. (The recipe said "serves 8." 8 linebackers, possibly.)
