[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think they are wasteful.   We could afford to eat different good everynight.  I could drink water only out of plastic bottles but I do not.  [/quote]
What? Wasteful is throwing away uneaten food, not eating it for a later meal. Or do you mean cooking with the intention of leftovers?

My mom is a good cook, but her meals usually take a lot of work. She's a master at mixing leftovers with fresh dishes so it tastes new. I'm a big fan of leftovers, because I grew up with the understanding that some food actually tastes better on the second day. DH just doesn't tend to reach for leftovers unless it's his absolute favorite (i.e. if he liked it but he didn't love it, he won't eat it again), and I suspect it's because his mom (MIL) is not a great cook. It's hard to develop a habit for so-so food twice in a row. MIL finds his aversion to leftovers surprising, which suggests that he did actually eat leftovers as a kid.

I kind of regret that I cooked fresh meals most nights when we were first living together and newlywed. Two kids later, I just don't have the energy.[/quote]

Wasteful to NOT eat leftovers..pretty clear I think.[/quote]
