Word up, Goomba - I finally made a subcategory in my recipe software
"cookbook" entitled "The Movable Feast" that is entirely about food
that can be made ahead and reheated or made ahead and served cold/room
temperature. A good example (and one I'm making for New Year's Day
Bowl watching with friends) and mondo-simple*:

1 recipe guacamole
4 green onions; chopped
1 can green chiles; chopped
1 can black olives; chopped

In quiche dish, layer in the order the ingredients are listed, with
the refried beans being on the bottom. Serve cold or bake at 350°F
until hot, 10 - 15 mins.
