I admit to being a bit late to the game when it comes to appreciating the benefits and advantages to leftovers. Truth be told, I’ve never liked them. Even as a child, my Mother reported I would roll my eyes and, in my television-influenced vernacular, complain about re-runs, if she served the remnants of a previous meal. Later in life, when I began cooking for myself, I occasionally experienced glimpses of the leftover benefit of cooking once, eating twice, but even that efficiency failed to produce a true appreciation for giving meals a second look. But it is time for me to reexamine my bias against leftovers.
