do you love leftovers or hate them?
i actually think everything tastes better the next day.
so just like all the leftover enchiladas i ate yesterday, i have leftover pics too.
some are just as pretty as the ones i posted yesterday but some of these are a little more real so to speak. you'll see what i mean.
i've inserted a few captions.
gotta love the holidays!

Totally agree, the flavours develop more, everything tastes better next day, I love leftovers.
ReplyDelete:-D
ReplyDeleteI recently read one should set aside that 1 portion for the next day. The rest will be plenty and you can be sure you have your leftover the next day.
The best thing about leftovers is the storage. The fridge looks so cute, with all the containers holding good food stacked neatly, I love that sight when I open the fridge. It is ... very comforting. Maybe because it manifests the work I have done (=cooking)
Speaking of leftovers: I just made my first homemade almond-milk ever thanks to your inspirational blog, it was so simple to make and tastes delicious, goes with everything. The leftover (=grinded wet almonds) are in the oven right now. They make a fantastic cookie-dough, I just added a bit of baking powder, cranberries or sultanas, salt and some oil. yummie.
Have a nice weekend!

A perfect "real deal" post . . . loved it!
ReplyDeletetoo funny. I love both day of and your day after pics.
ReplyDeleteWhy is my dog in your picture?
ReplyDeleteYour pup looks exactly like mine!
Janet,
ReplyDeleteToo funny!! Love your humor; Sheree
happy belated thanksgiving. I like leftovers. before I became a vegetarian I loved turkey sandwiches the next day. haven't had that in years! the after pictures make me giggle because that is real life. it is always fun to aspire to achieve that lovely setting but the people make it more interesting, as do the animals. have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the leftovers-especially stuffing and cranberry.
ReplyDeleteMade stock yesterday as well for soup later in the colder parts of our winter.
Jealous of you all being able to eat OUTSIDE!
Love your blog
ReplyDeleteI love leftovers so much I think I need to use some florid US - speak to describe:
ReplyDelete'Leftovers are insanely awesome, I prefer them to the main meal - for realz. Rad.'
See, sounds more passionate than my English- English, 'yes, Janet, I agree, leftovers really are jolly nice, aren't they?' ;) Boxing Day lunch, full of leftovers is my favourite meal of the entire year. Yum.
Sorry not to have been commenting here more recently, life has been way too hectic, but I love your blog as much as ever, and wish you a somewhat belated but heartfelt happy thanksgiving. xx
I don't mind leftovers at all. The food often tastes better the day after! Is that you son or daughter in the photo's? They both look very fashionable!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!

My husband makes the BEST Turkey Macaroni with our left overs, not quite your style, but SO delicious!
ReplyDeleteBTW - I love your little dog! We (actually my daughter) have an utterly adorable miniature wire haired dachshund. Your dog reminds me of Eeva! So cute
That's sons for you. I have 4 grown sons and so many photos with one of them shooting the bird!
ReplyDeleteGotta love 'um!
Betty
Your son is rather cheeky!
ReplyDeleteI have to ask permission before I post pictures of my family on the blog...
oh and there is a lot of eye rolling when I pull out my camera.
Gosh I love leftovers too and not just for the convenience of cooking once and eating twice...it's the flavour.
Happy (belated ) thanksgiving Janet.. Love all your photos official and non.. And Scout is gorgeous too. Not to mention your gorgeous son. I have my friend from California staying with me so we had a sort of thanksgiving dinner yesterday...X
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! That floral fabric looks like Raymond Waites. that is my fave wallpaper! I couldn't believe they discontinued it :(. I love it! if you decide to sell those slipcovers on EBay let me know:).
ReplyDeleteI appreciate this post, it has a heart and soul
ReplyDeletethis made me laugh, you do have good sports in your tribe! And let everyone be themselves.
I do admire you...
Good go know my son is not the only son who gives his mom the finger. I feel so much better! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHhahahahaha! My dogs are always on the table! As well as the cat! What a gorgeous reality we have!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you entirely, leftovers are fabulous, particularly dishes such as curries or pasta sauces etc x
ReplyDeleteLove your photo's and I checked out some of your recipes!! Looks YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteI personally love, love leftovers! I will make a big weekend dinner, and then serve it for lunch Monday and dinner Tuesday. I must confess, sometimes nothing tastes better than a coke in a glass bottle! I hope they were from mexico, as it tastes the best!!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had a lovely holiday!
Brandi
We love Mexican cokes, too! And our dogs browse the table. More importantly, our family also has a *finger tradition.*
ReplyDeleteWe have a great time looking at old pictures and wondering who is REALLY adjusting their glasses, and who is shooting one.
It's a few days late, but I include your blog in my thanksgivings. THANK YOU.
Janet,
ReplyDeleteSome leftovers are better than others but the best part of leftovers is that it usually means less time in the kitchen and fewer dishes, which my husband is always happy about! Most nights he refers to the pile of dishes from my cooking as "dish mountain".
Love the photos, and the fact that you show it like it is!

Just found your blog through the bright owl and it looks great. Can't wait to check it out
ReplyDeleteChristy
Leftovers are the best. Loved your pics and the hysterical captions!
ReplyDeleteLove it. So charming! I had Mexican coke today and currently munching on leftovers - how I love holidays! Thank you for sharing yours with us - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the outtakes better, especially the disaffected youth.

By the time I sit down to Thanksgiving dinner, I'm too tired from the preparations to really enjoy the food to the fullest. I've always thought that's why the leftovers taste better - because I'm rested enough to appreciate it more. Looks like you had a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteThe leftover scenes look as good as they did the other day too.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine is really in to those Mexicokes. I kind of like them myself.
Came here from the bright owl while surfin' for zentangles. Wow, green grass on Thanksgiving. American Thanksgiving even! our Thanksgiving was 6 weeks ago and today we're -10 Celsius and everything is under a blanket of white. What a lovely "garden break" I've had visiting your blog. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour captions are wonderful. My dog says those sort of things too. Critics...all of them.
