I think this is great but no way I can eat it all.

Best Wishes and Hugs,

        1. Ah leftovers. I love them. See it is so much easier to heat up leftovers than to cook a new meal. My problem is if there are too many in the fridge, I lose track of them. Ron has started writing on a white board on the fridge all the things in there to eat up, which helps me get to them. See the thing is we still cook like we were eating as we did ten years ago, but today we both hardly eat anything like what we did then. So we end up with a bunch of leftovers to eat up. Hugs

          1. You need to learn how to cook smaller portions! Or just cook something for that particular meal. I LOVE left-overs, but not when I have to throw something out because it was ‘left” too long. 😎

            1. Hello Nan. I get your point and agree. I really agree. Sadly that is hard for us to do. For 25 years Ron and I cooked large meals and we would eat large portions. Sort of explains how we got so large. But we aged. Now neither of us do. For example for breakfast we would cook nearly a pound of bacon, four or five sausage apiece, ham steak, hash browns, four eggs each, and 3 or 4 toast. But today we only eat two slices of bacon, Ron only eats 2 eggs / I eat three, we often only have one meat and often don’t have potatoes, and only 2 toast. When we would order a pizza we would order three large of different kinds and eat 4 or 5 slices each. 10 years ago I could eat an entire pizza my self. Now I can barely eat two slices at a meal. Or when I make spaghetti red sauce, I use three large cans of tomato sauce as the base, and while I have cut back on hamburger we still have far too much left over. Also this week I made goulash with a pound of hamburger and two large bottles of tomato juice. It is sitting in the fridge to be eaten, not because it is not good but because of all the other leftovers. So we understand the need to cut back, like not peel 10 potatoes for supper but maybe 4 or 5, but doing that when we are cooking is the problem. When I start making the sauce, I don’t think about the leftovers, I just cook to taste. It is only after the meal when I go to put it away that I realize how much more I cooked than we could eat. I guess it is the old eyes bigger than the stomach thing. But we are learning. And the recent years of cuts to our income helps drive the incentive to make less. Hugs

                    2. Good to know!! Based on the maps that showed its path, it looked like it was headed your direction. Of course I’m forgotten EXACTLY where you guys are! North of Fort Myers?

                    5. Hey Nan. We will get hit again. It will also be a strong one. The good thing with this hurricane it is fast moving so the time it has to do damage is less. With Ian, we had 8 hours of eye wall hitting us, the strongest part of the hurricane force. Hugs

            1. Hello Roger. We both do. We have to as our memories are not as good as they once were. So grocery shopping without a list is an exercise in futility. Put the big problem with food in the refrigerator is we have a large fridge with lots of shelves but too much stuff packed on each shelf. So I can not see or remember what is in the back of each shelf. When we put stuff in we don’t pull the older stuff to the front, we just place it on the shelves. So if Ron doesn’t write it down on the fridge white boards, I never think of it and make new. Our large fridge is covered with dry erase white boards, and I have a large one for my office. Hugs
