I'm sure my kids will (are? ) handle me with duplicitnous (is that a word?).

The older I get the more like Backroads grandmother I become.

I think it's difficult, how do you meet love with love? Everybody is trying to do what they think is best... much like serving at church

Hooray, we actually wound up with leftovers! Not an absurd amount, but enough to upset my grandma. Making soup tonight.

Why is your grandma upset about having leftovers?

Not sure, but I suspect it has something to do with efficiency. As in, leftovers meant you didn't plan the meal right. She can't get over how Husband and I cook specifically to have leftovers for later.

You would be surprised how many people think that. One time in Enrichment (when hubby was in college and no children) the women were talking bout how hard it was to make good healthy meals for dinner. When I mentioned I cook enough for two meals... you should have heard the gasps. I mentioned they were all healthy made from scratch (I grew up in a health food home where Mom cooked from scratch) but there was no appeasing. I know some people don't like leftovers but the feeling I got was that good mormon women don't do that.

I have heard of people who don't have leftovers because their family eats the whole meal (dravin's family is large enough that there were rarely leftovers). But, I've not heard of people who think leftovers are wrong or anything like that.

I purposely make meals to eat leftovers for lunch and dinner. One of my favorite things to do is plan 2 meals to be made on Sunday which will last the rest of the week. That's very helpful for me when I'm working tons of OT and don't have energy to do much of anything once I get home for the evening.

maybe that was it. Never thought it was the thought of making so much food. Thank you.

I visited a friend I hadn't seen for years. He's a good cook and went to a lot of trouble to make a vegan meal for me, complete with cake. At the end of the meal, as we were going out, I noticed the left over food on the counter tops in the kitchen. I almost had a heart attack - we've got to put that food away so it will be good for later!

My friend said nope, he didn't like left overs and would throw it out when he came home. I don't get it.

I love leftovers. There are some foods that actually taste better the 2nd day.

My ex is/was like that.

I got around it by cooking x2 or x3, and then packing things up before we ate (in tinfoil containers, like caterers use, and placing in freezer for future meals before we ate)... Meals "prepped in advance" he could get behind. But never, ever, food "left over". Even an hour. And then kids & I ate actual leftovers (never my ex) the next day.

In his case it stemmed from growing up in an exceptionally abusive family. The kids would often be locked in the basement for weeks (while their parents got high). When someone thought to make food for the kids... It wasnt always followed up wih feeding it to them. For days. Rotten spoiled food every couple days was the best he and his sister could hope,for. His grandmother (who'd come take the kids every few months) said shed often find the "kids meals" plated on the kitchen counter, with mold growing and cigarettes stubbed out in it... And mom or dad saying "Let me just feed the kids before you take them!" Going for those plates more times than she can count.

When his parents were doing well, they were actually a Pentecostal preacher & wife. Very spare the rod & spoil the child types. And self sacrifice (meaning take food to the homeless shelter, and not eat yourself, or eat out of dumpsters to empathize wih "those less fortunate") oriented. Also... If they made any sound while eating (chewing, slurping, talking), they'd be beaten, locked in the closet, and not get to eat for 3 days in "penance".

(( I know plenty of perfectly sane/ normal/ good people in the Pentecostal church. This says nothing about the church. Merely them. I'm sure there are evil people in every branch of religion.))

So my ex had MAJOR food issues.

We were also super broke.

So I learned to work around his issues, while still saving money by cooking in bulk.

While my wife will put leftovers in the fridge, no one eats them except me - I take them to work for my lunch.

Seriously, people will say 'there's nothing to eat' when there's plenty of stuff leftover from the last couple nights meals. If for some reason I don't take it it sits there until garbage day and then gets thrown out. I don't get it myself. Whats wrong with leftovers assuming; 1.) the food was good and 2.) it was refrigerated promptly
