"More than one of the above"

Ten quart pot of baby lima bean soup with smoked ham hocks, and of
course all the accompanying veggies... whatever is in the fridge and
from my impending foray into the garden (I know for certain gonna
pick another celery, and a fistful of parsley). Ham hocks were just
put to simmer and beans are picked, washed and soaking for a bit....
six big garlic cloves are peeled and six carrots, two huge onions, and
four small green peppers are on the counter... got some spuds too but
not sure about those yet, but will add a slew of my garden tomatoes
diced... gonna toss in a few bay leaves now and out I go.

Hey! Now I know this is "fixed". I refreshed, Chris came into chat
and asked me if I saw her post.... I hadn't, so I refreshed again and
NOW I see your survey AND I'm #20. I'll never get a TFH at this rate.

Sorry, Margaret. I forgot "leftovers" - but then again - can that be
considered cooking???

Sounds like pretty tasty dregs, to me! Those are comfort foods in the

I inadvertently lied. I said beef because we usually have hamburgers on
Saturday. Then I remembered that the chink of ground meat that we already
took out of the freezer is a beef and pork mixture. It makes great burgers,
meat loaf and meat balls.

I guess at some point it was a graceful way to take home your
leftovers, it's for the dog (wink wink). Actually, if you eat half
your steak, why not bring home the other half.

Sounds like Rabbit Paprikas and Layers of Potato... maybe it was some
kind of scalloped potato.

Is the place Hungarian? If you don't want to share the name publicly,
would you please return email the name to me, Margaret? I'd like to
try that place the next time I visit NYC - I'll definitely tell my
SIL, who lives in MidTown, about it.

At first I put vegetarian fare because I put on a huge pot of soup,

all of these fresh: tomatos, green beans, potatoes, carrots, onion, sorrel,
parsley, basil
all of these dried: marjoram, thyme, rosemary
canned: garbanzo (chick peas)
orzo (pastas)
left-over pieces of parmesian reggiano
Superior vegetable broth

Then I realized that DH will be eating chicken sausages -- because he has to
have meat -- with a little left-over baked butternut squash.

The available choice was seafood or shellfish for which I voted.
It will actually be Albacore tuna and I got into a near flame
war in another group some time ago about the definitions of
fish, seafood and shellfish. One poster, authoritatively in his

Surely 'fish' must be generic for everything that swims in the waters --
well, maybe not snakes!

Even I would not maintain that a whale was a fish :-) To me,
seafood is a broader term that might include seaweeds like dulse
but I refuse to get stubborn about it and don't use the term
much myself!

Chili. I made a big pot of it last night and will serve it tonight
with cornbread and all the usual toppings, which in our house include
cheese, onions and/or sour cream, depending on individual preference.

I had two left over (baked) Atlantic cod fillets so I froze them. I've
thawed them and will slowly reheat them, covered with foil, 225F with a
little milk poured around to keep them from drying out. Brussels sprouts
and a slice of toasted buttered sourdough bread will accompany them.

Get a life, Sheldon. I can't help that Google doesn't show sf. I
notice it every time I use google to read. My news reader is set up
this way so my email address doesn't show up on standard news readers
(you can find it via show all headers or return email). I've tried
all the various configurations and this is what works for me. If you
don't like it, try loosening up your pocketbook. You use google as
your news reader because you're too cheap to use even the least
expensive of the decent news servers, so bite me.

Janet,

From your email address it looks like you're in the UK. Is it considered
bad manners there to bring home leftover food from restaurants?

In the US (depending upon the restaurant) you pack up your own food and put
it in a restaurant-supplied container.

If you're really so appalled by food that has touched cutlery that's been in
the mouth, then leftover even at home must be out also.

What is the big deal, other than trusting the kitchen staff to do to your
leftovers the same thing they could have done before they served it to you
the first time. I am not particularly worried about my utensils having
touched my food and been in my mouth. The worst that could do is to expose
you to your own germs.

I am not in the habit of bringing home doggie bags because I don't order
more food than I can eat, and I don't usually go to the sort of places that
serve huge portions of low calibre food. The only place that I used to get
doggie bags was in a Chinese restaurant where I used to eat with my
coworkers. Rather than get one of the dinner specials that tended to be
padded out with lots of fried rice and chicken balls, I used to order a
single order of a speciality dish like War Bar or Cantonese Chow Mein,
which I could dish out to myself from the serving dish and then take the
rest of it home with me. there was often enough left over for my wife and
son for dinner the next night.

For a long while I could eat very little at a sitting, and most of
my meal always came home with me when I ate out. If there
were two items I was trying to choose between, I would take
the one that reheated well. Prime rib comes to mind, I can't
eat a whole piece in one sitting. I cut off the piece I'm going to
take home and eat the rest.

Also, I don't go getting my spit all over my food. Besides, I'm
the one who eats it later, it's not as if I serve it to company.

Rabbit paprikas (nyúlpaprikás) and a layered potato casserole (rakott

It's TriTip on the grill with baked potatoes and fried green tomatoes. The
crockpot is happily cooking onions for French Onion Soup for Sunday dinner
with leftover TriTip thinly sliced for sandwiches. At least that is what I
have planned at the moment. Always time for change on tomorrow's menu.

Here's my experience: In the UK, you can finish a meal and won't have
a dilemma about taking it home or not because you aren't served so
much that you can't finish your meal (as is the custom here in the
US). We're still celebrating affording food on the table over here.

Rabbit paprikas?
Scalloped potatoes?

It's hard to tell. Your dinner sounds terrific.

You're still in white boy mode. Going to a chinese restaurant means
each of you orders a dish to share with the table. After you've eaten
at the restaurant once or twice, you'll know if you should order one
dish less than the number of people (or not), which means no
significant leftovers.

Some people don't realize this. The first time we ate Chinese food with my
in-laws, they ordered a type of fixed-plate that must've been on the menu
for people like them who didn't know the process. All they knew was
chicken-chow-mein, and hardly ever, ever ate rice.

The first time I met them was before DH and I married, and DH took us to a
sit-on-floor-type Japanese restaurant. Looking back on it, he must've been
a bit goofy to do that. But it was SF and we were in JapanTown, so I guess
it was appropriate.
