Yes, and I appreciate reciprocity.

Don't we all. <g> My sister sent me home with leftovers from both
Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I'm having leftovers right now. St. Louis style pork steaks from
yesterday. 1/2" thick sliced pork shoulder with Maull's. http://www.maull..com/
I had a good bit of cherry wood on the fire.

Sounds tasty. When I cut those two pork loins into steaks, I cut them
1" thick. I electr-grilled those Saturday with some steamed eggs and I
did take pics but have not taken them off the camera yet. I still have
one pork loin steak left over as well. <g>

I generally only eat one real meal per day on weekends, and snack a
little as I get hungry the rest of the day.

Heh. Not me. I don't usually accept leftovers to take home unless
they're really pressed on me. I don't eat food that's been sitting out
for more than an hour or two (it's a personal squick; I'm not saying
anyone else is wrong to do it), and James isn't a big fan of leftovers,
so if I take food home, it's more likely to get tossed than eaten, and I
dislike wasting food. For much the same reason, I do try to send
leftovers home with guests, especially if they brought the food in the
first place, because I assume if they brought it, it's something they
like, and they can take it home in their own containers.

I do keep a supply of disposable take-away containers, to make things
easier.
