After a houseful of guests while we were away I had a batch of leftovers in
the fridge.

They has pretty much cooked what I had left out but it was time to clean out
the fridge.

Leftover 1/2 pineapple.

Diced and it became a pineapple upside down cake. Time to put the heavy
cream into the NO cream whipper to keep it from spoiling.

Leftover rice & 1/3 grilled tri-tip.

The tri tip got sliced and then warmed in a 50/50 mix of Yamada marinade &
water.

The leftover rice became Fried Rice with cabbage & veggies.


The pasta sauce is in the freezer. It was augmented with a cooked chicken
breast & 2 grilled burger patties all chopped up in the food processor.

Tonight we use the last of the green chili with pork.

BTW my complements to the discoverer of CRASH potatoes - they're a hit with
company.

So are you using more leftovers - I still have a problem not cooking for a
small army....

:-)

Since I'm seriously trying to lose weight and dad is living on protein
shakes (he's very ill at the moment and I'm having a hell of a time
getting him to eat), the dogs are getting the leftovers...

I've got a batch of sausage, eggs and chinese dumplings that will be
their breakfast in the morning.

I don't feed leftovers to the dogs on a frequent basis so I'm not
worried about it affecting their health. They are active enough, they
can use the calories...

The Corgie won't get any. She's too fat.

Left over pinapple!

Heres one from the vaults:)


Commercial ice cream and ordinary whipped
cream may be used effectively in the following
recipe, the "spun sugar" at the end can be
eliminated and the alcohol in the liquor while
very nice may be dispensed with however for the
sake of a more liquid puree of strawberries it
should be replaced with either a non alcohol
champagne or other appropriate fruity liquid. The recipie
can be reduced to half to serve 4-5.

Fraises a La Sarah Bernhardt

serves 8-10

Choose 3-4 pounds of fresh
strawberries and remove their stems. Put 2/3 of
the nicest ones in an enamelled tureen, sprinkle
them with powdered sugar, add 5-6 glasses of
Vieille Cure [curaco or benedictine liquor or any
fruit liquor though orange flavour is
traditional], and place the tureen on ice. Pass
the rest of the strawberries through a fine sieve,
mix 250 grams of sugar into the resulting puree,
and add it to the rest of the strawberries.
Separately, use preserves of pineapple to prepare
a fruit pulp as follows: with one fork hold the
pineapple in place, and with another fork tear the
fruit into a pulp. Sprinkle with 250 grams of
sugar and keep on ice. In advance, prepare 1 &
1/2 litres of vanilla ice cream and 3/4 litres of
whipped cream Chantilly.

To serve:

Take a crystal bowl of the necessary size,
fill the bottom with vanilla ice cream, and place
the whole strawberries on top. Mix the strawberry
puree into the whipped cream Chantilly. Cover the
strawberries with the pineapple pulp and then add
the whipped cream a la fraise. The mixture of the
last 2 ingredients should be such as to give the
illusion of a beautiful sunset. Throw a lace of
spun sugar over this delicious dessert to complete
the presentation.

The above is taken from a biography of Auguste

the archaic nature or overly elaborate preparation
needs any further elucidation please feel free to
ask for clarification.

My stepfather reached a point where he would not eat, so I know this is
a hard for you. He was on liquids, so we would make gumbo, run it in a
blender, but still, he would barely eat. I hope it gets better.

Now that my nest is empty, leftovers can be a problem. Some things
just don't freeze well so you end up eating them forever. I have to
be really careful with vegetables because leftover cooked veggies can
be hard to face. It's even more of a challenge now, because my
freezer died on Tuesday.

That tri tip probably would have become sandwiches for work and
combined with the rice and stuff in the cupboard, a burrito for
dinner. I've made Barb's rhubarb custard cake with pineapple instead
of rhubarb.

Thanks.

The protein shakes are working so far, and I got him to eat an oz. or so
of some Cream Havarti cheese this morning. I've just got to figure out
what he will eat! I'll try some cottage cheese later today.

I figure dairy is better than nothing and cottage cheese is a quality
protein.

I tried tempting him with some ravioli in marinara this morning
(resorting to "treat" foods here!) but it was no go. <sigh>

I have some soup frozen in individual portions in the freezer. He did
mention yesterday that he might like some chicken soup, but I'll have to
make sure it's a puree, not chunky.

Step by step is he

I add cheese at the very end.

BTW the steaming takes a much shorter time than I expected.

Thanks Dimitri.
He has a lot of serious back pain with a compression fracture.
He's almost done with the antibiotics for the septicemia.
I can't hardly get him out of bed either.
