    If you freeze it and eat it later that’s called meal prep.

    I’m too cheap to throw it out. So my role in the house is to eat all the leftovers before they go bad

      A few years ago I had a roommate who just did not give a fuck about food never found enjoyment in it. All the leftovers went to him he’d vacuum up anything completely neutrally. I miss him

        It’s me, I’m that roommate.

        Well to be honest, I do enjoy and appreciate tasty food. But I don’t mind eating plain bland food (as long as it isn’t disgusting). I don’t really have a high bar. If it’s edible, in it goes

          You wouldn’t happen to live in the Seattle area and have a roommate opening in like a year would you?

      Same. My folks never eat leftovers. I patrol the fridge each day and assemble a cast of weird and wonderful characters to have for lunch at work.

      The joys of having children eventually. Leftovers are just meal prep for lunch the next day!

      Establishing a leftovers night is the way to go though.

    I call the bottom shelf of my grandmothers fridge the petri dish for this exact reason.

    Constantly puts shit in tupperware, puts it down there, and forgets about it until i find it, and by then its become its own microscopic ecosystem.

    Am I the only one who thinks leftovers make the best breakfasts?

    This happens every time because there is something else in the fridge that needs to be cooked so it won’t spoil. Then you eat the new dish instead of the old one since you just made it and the old one goes bad…

    But then you keep cooking new stuff because you don’t want to touch the x-day-old food that you’re not interested anymore and want something freshly cooked to eat. You’ll get around to it evenshoely, for shooor

    My mother once bypasses the refrigerator part and accidentally put leftovers in the cupboard over the oven. After a week or two, the smell had us thinking something crawled into the oven vent from outside and died. It took me noticing something bubbling up from between two casserole dishes to realize what happened.
