I like the joke about the preacher whose wife is an EXPERT at squeezing every penny’s worth out of the food budget. One evening, he pokes at the dish in front of him and just starts eating.
“But dear, aren’t you going to bless this food before we eat?”
“My dear, if you can find anything on the table that hasn’t already been blessed, I’ll be happy to see what a little prayer can do for it!”
Make the full recipe, after the first meal, divide into serviing sizes and put in freezer plastic bags labeled as to what it is. Great for quick and easy meals and when each of you want something different.
“It’s a leftover. What a sad word that is. Leftover. How would you like to be…a leftover? Well, it wouldn’t be bad if they were taking people out to be shot. I might even volunteer. But, y’know, leftovers make you feel good twice. D’ja ever think about that? When you first put them away, you feel really intelligent- “I’m saving food!” And then, after a month, when hair is growing out of them and you throw them away you feel…really intelligent- “I’m saving my life!”" -George Carlin
Where’s that list of what gets served for the first two weeks following Thanksgiving. Starts with turkey sandwiches, then turkey casserole, and by the end you’re down to turkey soup.
Soup season, when growing up, Black Friday until Christmas eve. I hated soup, except tomato, for years. Oldest brother came home from school one day and asked Mom what was for supper, “soup”. His reply, “Can we have some real food?” Next night she made a roast. Now I like the soup I make. Canned, no.
Earl, if you are so damn picky than fix something better, or shut up.To quote my dear mother:There is NOTHING more pitiful than a man who can’t cook for himself.

Half the people in the world, will go to sleep hungry, tonight. Clear your plate and say thank you, to the random luck that put you where you are.

Many foods — especially casseroles — taste better the second meal.

He does not appear to be anywhere near starving, nor does he have to eat big portions of food he isn’t fond of.
