Grilled chicken legs, some basted with Jack Daniel's BBQ Sauce, some with French's Honey Mustard Sauce, and the remainder with Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wing Sauce. My wife and daughters ate the ones with the BBQ sauce, leaving the rest for me (both tonight and as leftovers, as none of them will eat anything reheated.)
Steamed broccoli and buttermilk biscuits rounded out the menu.
What the?!?! |

Went to some Italian restaurant out here. I ordered this seafood pasta plate. It was good but way too big. I hardly put a dent in it. I knew that's how it would be though. No problem, I have leftovers for a couple days now.

Had steamed fish fillet (flounder, the waitress said) in some sort of delicious broth with rice at a local rather authentic Chinese restaurant. Delicious. Since I'd skipped lunch (as per usual on weekends), a couple of hours later I picked up a quart of hot & sour soup at a more typical Chinese takeout place about 4 blocks from the house; had about 1/3rd of it & will have the rest tomorrow for lunch at work.

I mean any "one pot" meal is almost always going to be better re-heated. Not to mention the economics of such a lifestyle. Although, that can probably be mitigated by not over-ordering/cooking (two things I am usually guilty of).

No kidding. Richard apparently lives with abject lunatics. It all stems from my wife, as she says that almost everything reheated just doesn't "taste right". However, to be fair to her, she will eat things like spaghetti sauce with meatballs or chili that has been reheated, particularly if it is done in a crockpot and not just the microwave, but there is no way she is touching reheated a chicken breast or pork chop. My daughters, who are too young to make critical decisions like that, pretty much follow their mother's lead, although my younger one will eat reheated chicken tenders and pizza on occasion. I have to downsize almost every recipe I make so that we aren't left with an overabundance of leftovers, since it then falls on me to finish them and I am trying to avoid eating large lunches on top of having a regular-sized dinner. The only reason I did it last night is because we have soccer practice tonight and tomorrow, so we won't be having an actual sit-down meal as a family; I will have a couple of the leftover legs tonight and the remainder tomorrow, along with the broccoli and some rice that I made last week. |

The sins of the parents ... Presumably your wife's odd stance stems from her own mother or father's weirdness regarding leftovers, which in turn probably stems from at least one of their parents, etc.

I found it to be the case that most crazy people (ie. my mother, Reagan, etc) say at least one thing that actually make sense. In my mother's case, it was "The first one who complains about the meal, makes the next one". That tended to cut down on the food fussiness. If they don't like the reheated food, you can tell them they're welcome to make the next meal. |

If they don't like the reheated food, you can tell them they're welcome to make the next meal. The problem with that approach is that I actually love to cook and am quite at home in the kitchen. I like to try new things, particularly if I'm just freestyling with only a slight idea of how things are going to turn out, so turning over the reins of the meals to my wife would actually deprive me of one of the things I like to do best. Don't get me wrong, however. My wife is a good cook herself, although she tends to be technically strong but creatively weak. She will almost always follow a recipe to the letter in terms of ingredients and amounts, so while the food is good and well-prepared, it lacks a certain flair; she is also an amazing baker, an endeavor in which one has to be exact with measurements, so her following the directions in that case is not a bad thing at all. |

On the other hand, with proper supervision, experiencing cooking could also help make the child more self-sufficient. |

I cooked tacos Monday night, and then ate the rest last night. The ground beef was probably borderline spoiled too, as it sat in the fridge too long, cause I forgot I took it out to thaw. I didn't die Monday night so I figured I could heat the meat up in a saucepan and go at it again. Topped it with cheese, sour cream and salsa verde. And as usual beer to drink.

I just ate way too much sushi, so I'll have fishy burps for dinner.
