Ah, leftovers. God's way of rewarding you for not pigging out and finishing the entire thing in one sitting. And you're right - there's a terrible feeling of guilt when you throw out a leftover that's been leftover for too long and a corresponding thrill of delight when you realize you've eaten every bit of every meal that was in your fridge. It's the closest thing we have to the satisfaction our Native American brethren had when they used all of the buffalo.

I'm a leftover purist. I reheat nothing. And you've enlightened me to why my kids don't like leftovers, they don't have to cook so no down side to fresh food. But whatever, I don't need the competition for that pad thai from last night.
