Leftovers always seem to have good intentions. Intending to be eaten but instead taking up valuable space in the fridge. Sometimes the space is a high comodity. Have you ever heard leftovers fighting b/c a pancake was poking a container of chicken teriyaki? If you have, I will have complete sympathy for you....however, if your leftovers ever get to the point where they're passing out contractual agreements to each other, its time to close your refrigerator doors and never open them again...or at least voluntarily admit yourself to the physche ward of your local hospital. I do eat leftovers for my lunches, the times that we do have them. But what happens to those few beets that get shoved to the back of the fridge b/c you have three bottles of juice to squeeze into the jumbled mess of potential future meals to consume?
What about that jar of jelly or the bottle of barbeque sauce, how do we fill up our fridges to the point where we have trouble stuffing stuff into it and then can't find the very things we've stuffed in there??? Why do I allow such chaos!!!!????!!! So as summer strives to come closer to me and I strive for me to come closer to it, I will set out upon a most daunting mission....to have an organized fridge, not just once every week when its time to go grocery shopping but every day!

Love it! I always forget about the leftovers until they start growing beards!! I think there are times I intend to throw them away but it is late at night and I know that if I throw it into the garbage now it will sit all night in the garbage can fermenting and rotting in the warmth and so I tell myself I will do it first thing in the morning and then have one of the kids take the garbage out. Never happens the way I intended. I do get distracted and forget. :P
ReplyDeleteyes, I completely understand! Distraction is one of the best deterrents that leftovers have...they use it to every advantage they can! I am taking up arms today and I will fight the leftovers with all my might!! I'll let u know who wins this battle....
