I have to say that I am not crazy about eating my own leftovers, so I am
not keen to eat leftovers from someone else's dinner. Well, cake or pie
might be okay, but not meat, vegetables and salads. When I cook meals
here for the two of us I make enough for a serving each. Leftover roast
beef or chicken is good, and a meatloaf isn't bad re-heated. I am
reluctant to make things like lasagna because I don't want to be eating
leftovers. If we have company I cook enough to offer seconds, but I
don't bother offering to send the leftovers with people because I don't
want to put them in the position of having to be polite and taking them.
