Besides the conversation, I thought I'd add that some types and the
circumstances make it sensible.

My friend Susan fixes meals for from 7-15 every time. It's a big
extended family and they all live within 4-5 houses of each other.
While some of it is a family 'pot luck style' (where others take turns
bring things), they also contribute to the budget.

As a result, Susan does a lot of 'cook once, eat many' type dishes.
Commonly ground beef will be cooked right away and drained then frozen
in suitable amounts. This not only in the long run saves time in her
case, but it also takes up less space since the fat has been drained
off.

When cooking one ham, she says she's apt to cook a second at the same
time then break it down and freeze the 2nd one for other dishes.

Makes sense in her case and not related to what Julie does.
