I'm with you Wayne. I don't understand someone posting to a cooking
group admitting to eating the same thing for a week or more, and by
their own admission because it's too much work. The thread about
eating hamburgers for a whole week cracked me up, including the
directions on how to make one. I'd rather eat fast food than making
something planning on eating it for a week or two. With all the info
posted here and other places there's no reason to suffer from culinary
boredom. On the rare occasion I make lots of something it goes in the
freezer and we'll have it weeks later and enjoy it rather than looking
at it and thinking: "this again?" I'll make pulled pork and have
sandwiches and then make taco's the next day, but then it goes in the
freezer. I can have pizza two days in a row but only if I'm too busy
to do something else and just need to eat something and go to bed.

For me leftovers aren't a way of life but rather a found freezer treat
for times when cooking isn't practical because of time.
