When I worked at K Mart, our iced tea dispenser was like that. Never got
cleaned until someone complained that there was mold in their cup. I never
drink the stuff in restaurants any more.

When my husband is out, is when I get to enjoy lamb. He doesn't eat
it, but I love it.

I love lamb but it does have a "taste". One of my boys prefers to have
steak or chicken breast at just about every evening meal. One prefers
pork but will eat chicken (but on bones), eats some lamb (usually chops)
but prefers anything crumbed. One likes something different every night
:)

We all like to eat something different every night, but in our case
since there are only two of us, I often have leftovers which I am
loath to toss out, so we sometimes do eat a second meal of whatever it
is.

I made chicken milanese one day, the next day the leftover cutlets
were topped with sauce and mozzarella cheese, and become chicken
parmesan.

In some cases I will take the leftover meat, slice it and put it into
the leftover gravy, and freeze it for a quickie meat and gravy entree
at a later date when I don't have the time to make something new. By
that time it is "new" again to us.

Sounds delicious. I saved that recipe and will try it next time.

Sometimes I am tired when I come home from shopping and instead of
separating bulk meat/poultry, I toss it in the freezer as is. When I
defrost I tend to use it all up over the next 2-3 days. The kids just
have to suck it up :) I am not a superwoman and as I say, anyone who
wants to take over the job is more than welcome :)

I'm trying to teach dh to separate and package, but so far...not so good. I
like my chickens cleaned up and packaged...ready to go, and I like ground
meat, chops, steaks etc., separated into portions that will be eaten, but if
not, oh well. :-)

I like it that way too and I always have thoughts that I am going to do
that but then reality steps in.... :)

I always end up regretting it when I do that. I try to separate and
bag meat up by smaller portions too, but occasionally I get lazy about
it. The reason I had so very many chicken cutlets is because I did
that..... put the whole package in the freezer without separating
them.

I like it that way too and usually do it by not rushing. I will put all
the meat into the fridge and separate it into portions or clean the
chickens or parts slowly over a day or so. Freezing each in individual
servings as I complete each package.

mine has gotten much better over the years, i think when he realized that
the cooked bulk food was a good thing, he also realised that on the things
we do not bulk cook its even better, Lee

When I was growing up, my father would go to professional conventions a
couple of times a year. While he was away we had veal, fish, anything
that was subtly flavored, since he didn't care for those.
