Exactly. I don’t have any hang-ups about eating left overs. When I was single I would cook a big batch of something special and look forward to eating it over the next several days.
Right now we don’t have much problem now with leftovers. We have 8 people in the house, 5 of them boys between the ages of 5 and 16. My wife is always trying to make things that can last more than one meal, but if the kids like it, it will be gone. If there are leftovers, she will bring it out again and it is quickly gone. The only way things go to waste is if the container gets to the back of the fridge and forgotten- then the dog or the chickens get it.
Same here. When I was single and cooked ‘leftovers’ were frequent and almost always intentional. It wasn’t efficient cooking just for one meal. I almost always cooked not just for the current meal but subsequent or future meals.
