Not really. I don't expect uninvited guests. In that case, I would
suggest we all go out out eat.

Both the freezer and pantry are well stocked with many items, but not with
the particular thought of stretching a meal. I mean, one certainly could
concoct a very decent meal out of what's there, but it's not something one
could easily do on a moment's notice if people suddenly arrived.

David and I both hate leftovers, and so when I cook almost anything, it is
with that in mind that I cook two portions of each item. It usually
wouldn't be easy to "stretch" that to feed 5-6 people. Exceptions,
certainly are pots of chili and pasta sauce, stews, and soups.
