We need an army

to eat all the food that makes it way to my table each day. 20 pounds of beef stew sit stewing in the fridge wondering when someone is going to come along and take another scoop. 10 pounds of skirt steak has made it's way onto the barbie and will take it's place alongside the beef stew tonight. We even have a couple of burgers waiting their turn on the barbie so I can enjoy one for lunch tomorrow.

You would think, since there has only been two people in this house for four years now with occasional visitors, that the master chef would learn to curb his tendency to cook for that ficitional army he sees looming on the horizon. And you would think he would learn that most of us can no longer eat the way we did when we were younger. But no - we'll have leftovers waiting until that damn army arrives. But will he want to heat them up? Nope. He'll want to make fresh.

And on the subject of leftovers. Some of you, not to mention any names, thinks the fridge will keep your food fresh until you get tired of eating it - or until it turns green. Not so!! In my house the rule is 3 days and out you go. If you are plain meat, you get a one day reprieve because Joe Beegle can chow down on you on the 4th day. Think I'm nuts?? Read this.
