Hi Paula — I always enjoy the insights your comments bring. I think when there are teen-agers in the house, leftovers are soon snapped up as snacks. I also remember the years when leftovers were a vital part of menu planning. Thanks for commenting.

Wow, those are huge tomatoes! Leftovers perhaps in regular American families were a bore, but there were many others and other cultures who utilized everything. In my parents-in-law home here in Kurtistown, they still had the icebox cabinet in 1982, just used for storage against rats at that point. Being immigrants, our family always used leftovers although there were rarely any, and I always take home food from restaurants (although there was a period of time, like you said, where it was all frowned upon), and have utilized leftovers fully through the years of raising kids and all. Thank you much for your blog!!
