Grinning.......BTDT!!

Freeze it and maybe it will sound good in a week or two?!?!?

Methinks you're spoilin' that dog! :-)

Maybe you didn't get a large enough dog... Latte can only eat so much.

After Thanksgiving I can't even think of chicken for a couple of weeks. I'm pretty good at freezing leftovers right away.
Saturday I cooked a spiral ham, have more today and the rest goes in the freezer.
Cabbage rolls, which I love, I also like to freeze. They taste great when used in a couple of months.

I was just thinking today about all the good food we've been eating...beef, lobster, shrimp, ham and realized I'm ready for some Asian and Mexican.

My whole family is suffering from that with cookies. DH loves cookies, but even he is sick of them. It might be, well, at least a week or two before he can handle cookies again. No, really, it'll probably be a few months before any of us, even DH, can choke down another cookie.

I just threw away the remaining cookies (was going to say "tossed my cookies" but thought better of it). I also threw away the cookies from a well-meaning neighbor. They weren't so good.

I hardly ever get tired of leftover meals. I love opening the fridge and finding already cooked food.

I do it all of the time! I don't even like to cook something that doesn't freeze well any more because I'm afraid of that happening and having to throw away food.
That happened the last time I made Swedish Meatballs. I had a terrible yen for them, thought I just had to have them. After one meal I didn't want any more. The balls freeze well, not the gravy.

All the time. I cook like I am cooking for 10. I think I must channel a past life as the matriarch of a large family when I enter the kitchen. I don't freeze many things. I pack up what no longer interests me before it becomes compost or a science project and send it to my ex. He doesn't cook to speak of and is happy to have home cooking. I did teach him roast a turkey recently. He thinks he's Jacques Pépin now. ;)

In general, I don't mind leftovers; in fact, I enjoy being able to POOF dinner. But when we get takeout Chinese food (very rare for us), I really dislike eating the leftovers for lunch. There's something about congealed sauces and strong flavors that is very unappealing to me when they're reheated. Or maybe this happens more with fried and batter-coated foods, which I normally don't make at home.

Had to laugh when I read your message, lindac. I do that with turkey every year. I only cook it at Thanksgiving and then my eyes see a big bird - and there is no way we can eat all of a big bird. Every year, I say I will do better; maybe that should be one of my New Year's resolutions.

I get it.

Yesterday I made soup all day and by dinnertime, I was tired of it without eating it once. Takeout. I hope I feel like it tonight...

I froze the rest....we'll see what a little time does for my desire for stuffed cabbage.
Not feeling in the mood for turkey soup yet....got a yen for lasagna....but I fear if I make it....I won't want more than one meal.
Maybe I'll pack up all the dribs and drabs of soup etc in the freezer and take to my daughter's house and let the boys have at it!

Funny, I was going to post something similar, but about cooking certain dishes and then not wanting to eat them at all, as fori mentioned above.

Seems to happen for me with chili. I was craving it for several weeks after eating it out, then finally made it. Tasted great while cooking, but by the time it was done, I had lost all interest. DH ate some, but I froze the rest and am hoping that won't go to waste.

Yes once I had the flu hubby brought me a bowl of chicken corn soup,ate it ,up it came hated it ever since.
