Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for May 09, 2020

starting to me me think of the Alfred Yankovic parody made from Aerosmith

reminds me of many Garfield leftover food comics.

We have a refrigerator magnet of a 1950s type housewife holding a head of lettuce. The caption is: I just bought some lettuce. Should I throw it out now or wait two weeks as usual?

We usually eat the leftovers the next day for breakfast or as a snack, depending on what’s left.

Label the containers and freeze them, including the date of freezing.

My mother would always have a refrigerator full of “GHAH! WHAT’S THIS?”

Leftovers never last long in my house…

Or, you might consider eating the stuff within a few days. Just a thought.

As long as there’s potatoes or rice, almost any meat or vegetable can be added to make another meal. In fact, sometimes the mashups are better than the original.

I reckon that so long as there’s no blue fuzz growing on it, or it’s not developing legs and moving on its own, then the left-over in the fridge is edible…

My wife, however, does not take such a pragmatic view and nothing is allowed to reside in our fridge past its prime! (Good thing I don’t live in the fridge.)

More like three months…

been there and do that

Who knew that Baldo could be so poetic? d;o)

what’s the literal translation of “Claro”?

How are there any leftovers with a teenage boy in the house?

With a teenage boy in the house, I’m surprised leftovers make it to the next day.

So you are saying not to keep leftovers at all??

No “Ghah! What’s this?” in my house. My wife and I are empty-nesters, and I still cook as much as I did when there were four or five of us at home. Just means we have more leftovers for additional dinners or lunches. Less menu planning, and fewer meals to cook.

Baldo is a Pessimist.

Well my comic buddies I am now off to spend the rest of my 43rd wedding anniversary with my hubby and not on the computer….got all my comics done and all the comments answered and all my emails done. So off to a nice “us day”…….43 years married and lived together for 2 years beforehand to be sure!

In normal times we rarely have leftovers. I make what we need for the two of us and we eat it. The exceptions are Thanksgiving when a turkey is a lot for 2 people. Husband being a turkey fiend he will have snack at night and we will eat it all week for dinner and by then it will be gone. (Realized too late as could no longer find any back in March that we should have bought one or two for isolation.) We normally ate lunch at Wendys daily (junior burger plain for me, 2 junior burgers regular for him, 2 senior sodas – lunch for $3.88 a day) and ate dinner out 3 days of the weekend. No breakfasts as we wake late, but have cereal before bed as late night snack.

But the same beef stew which was one dinner is now 2 dinners plus lunches for husband as we eat much less of it and any other food to keep it longer. We are eating 1/2 to 2/3 or less of what we would generally eat for meals. Lunch is now 1/2 can soup or grilled cheese sandwich for husband, peanut butter (no jelly – ick) sandwich for me . On the other hand – I have lost about 15 pounds and I had to take his jeans in 2 inches as they were falling off.
