I love leftovers so much, sometimes I cook those first.
Leftovers, do you eat them?

Yes we do eat left overs. But I will say it was a learned habit.
The last ~18 years of work, we lived oversea's in West Africa for megaoil corp 10 months of the Year. We shipped over our Bulk Food stuffs once per year and would bring bag bags fulls on our one or two trips to/from Texas for Days Off.
ms gamboolgal would cook up big pots of Pinto's, Reds, Lima's and make Rice. I am not exaggerating when I say I ate Beans and Rice at least 5 days per week the last ~8 years when we was in Nigeria before I retired this year on 1-Feb-21.
Now that we're back home Texas full time, we cook up food and freeze and label the left overs and eat from them all the time.
Plus it helps that ms gamboolgal is a helluva good cook.
Being over yonder - made us appreciate the USA and Texas more than I can express.
Thank God for them Texas Gals....
gamboolman....
ETA - in Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria was where we lived and worked at. I am talking Open Air Markets, vegetables that you had to wash real good - as Cholera killed thousands,
Mystery Meat was what you got if and when you ordered from Cafes if you went into town.
Bush Meat - In Equatorial Guinea there was snails the size of Armadillo's that the locals would fix.... Bats, Monkeys, etc. - Bush Meat.
And the food Offshore was bad - I mean real bad. The years I was offshore - I took Ramen Noodles and Crackers and Peanut Butter and it was rare I would eat at the Galley.
Like I said - it was a good paying assignment and it really made us appreciate America and Texas !
