leftovers


Posted by Picasa
i love leftovers.  i haven't always, but the past few years or so i have begun to understand their importance.  for one, if it was good the first time you ate it, it will be good the next.  they also allow you to skip all the preparation for a meal.  it's is essentially already made for you.  i also like that you can really have a completely different meal with your leftovers than what you had previously made.  got all that?  i made individual turkey meatloaves the other night for my client and miraculously had two left over.  that is a rarity.  brian and i split one meatloaf for dinner and had this turkey pita for dinner the next night.  just as good as the night before.  the fact that the pita i used is probably the best pita i have ever eaten, helped in the creation of this delicious impromptu meal.  i love sandwiches, probably my favorite "go to" meal.  you can have it all in a sandwich:  protein, veggies, carbs.  you can throw anything you have in your fridge on a sandwich and make it that much better.  i was a bit limited with my turkey pita, but i also like to keep meatloaf sandwiches simple.  why do people have a problem with eating meatloaf, by the way?  many turn their noses up to it.  it is absolutely no different than a burger, in essence.  so what's the problem here?  i make my turkey meatloaf by adding egg, bread crumbs, garlic, fresh parsley, oregano, grated parmesan, salt and pepper.  who wouldn't like that?
