Leftovers

WriteBeLight

I just love leftovers,

Just a day or two old.

Seem to taste great,

But, hot, not cold.

 

Like Pizza, heat it up.

Or, the cheese is like lead.

Make the crust crispy again,

That chewy kind of bread.

 

Pasta and meatballs,

Always make too many.

They re-heat pretty well,

Just enough for me is plenty.

 

And then at Holiday times,

Always cooking way too much.

A day or two to finish,

Fixings, desserts and such.

 

But, what is really easy,

Leftovers on your plate.

Out of the frig and heated up,

So convenient when running late.

    Absolutely and in our house there is no such thing as waste food - my wife who is from the far east can turn anything into a nutritious and tasty meal.

      It is the best thing to do! You are a lucky man Michael! Thanks.

        Ooh yes, nice! Check food not gone off though. Doh! I had rather an insulting 'leaving-do'. A 'party for one' (me) of roast beef sandwiches. Really tough and horrid. Yuk! I might as well have been some dog, eating scraps!

      • orchidee

        But that would be insulting to doggies, such as the one in your pic! awww.

        My Sophie is the twin to the dog in the photo and loves leftovers. Well done. My wife liked the photo and poem also.

        • WriteBeLight

          Lucky dog! Thanks Augustus. My greyhound loved them as well... especially spagetti 🙂 Glad you both like the picture and poem. Cutie pie pup!

          Really like this one WBL
          I love leftovers, I am
          The master of bubble
          And squeak. You are
          So right... they taste
          So much better...

          • WriteBeLight

            Thanks P.H. They do seem to taste better the second time around. Having some tonight! 🙂

            Good write. In our house we are a great believer in not throwing any food away so the leftovers can create some wonderful dishes.

            • WriteBeLight

              Yes. Saving money and time, as well. Thanks Goldfinch!
