(17,310 posts)For the last year, all the meat I eat is pork chops or chicken thighs. I looked at a NY strip steak in the grocery the other day and it was $16.00 a pound. It is enough to turn a dedicated meat eater into a vegetarian.
A lot of people around me raise cattle, I am thinking about putting on my mask and go rustling. They don't still hang rustlers do they? I wonder how 'ya get a grown cow in the back of a Kia Rio. If I just put it on a leash, and walked it home do you think that anyone would think that it looked suspicious?

(22,767 posts)We'll be gladly eating that for several days, so I won't keep posting that we're having leftovers.
that's why I halve my recipes.

(22,767 posts)Making the things we love in enough quantity to last around 4 days saves me time in the kitchen (I no longer have the physical ability or strength to cook every day), as well as $$$ at the grocery.
I've been making my family recipe for this soup for going on 50 years and it's one of our top favorites. Husband calls it the world's perfect food from the first time he ever had it. We just finished it last night a little ahead of schedule because a couple of times, I heated up some for breakfast.

(35,435 posts)Normally I don't do the cooking at our household because the RG has a lifetime of skills, having attended many of the famed cooking skills in France and Italy. He's fast and a far better cook than I am. We're the cook and the gardener, me being the gardener.
But he will not eat leftovers. Has this thing about freshness. I've gotten the same way. I became so tired of throwing away food. I think it's wrong and actually immoral.
I realize it's extra work and I value my time, too, but I'd rather do the work than face throwing things out.
It seems to boil down to whether a person likes leftovers or not. If you do, it's great. If you don't, you have to do extra work.

(22,767 posts)Some things actually taste better leftover than they did the first night, and sometimes it's good to even make them the day before. I would never consider making things that absolutely NEED to be eaten fresh in quantities that will create leftovers. So, we throw out very little food at all.
Husband is good with most things for 3 days. Things like my tomato sauce, whether I'm making it for spaghetti or lasagna, and wedding soup, he will eat even longer and so will I. He ate the NE clam chowder I made recently for 5 days and loved every night of it.
