How I've dreaded this day. But it has come to pass. As the 'Leftover Master' of the household, I frequently make myself meals from leftovers based on my aesthetics for flavour & texture with no consideration of how it looks. Up until today, my boys have always turned up their noses (due to the health(y|ful) doses of veggies I include). But my older boy, at the age he has a hollow leg, is home from school with a lurgie & decided he was finally hungry enough to try my leftie fry-up... 1/2
I dished up a small portion... I assumed that he'd look at it and turn up his nose. Instead, he surprised me by saying "huh. There's a look of stuff like this that you know'll be tasty." Gulp. He ate it... and asked for more. And then scraped the rest from the pan. Gah! My leftover reign appears to be drawing to an ignominious close. 2/2
@lightweight Just don't try to reclaim your leftover reign after they move out, because that is also the time when your metabolism is slowing down, injury levels are going up, and you end up with that gut you swore you'd never have. ;-)
