By our powers combined, I am Captain Leftovers!

Occasionally you open the fridge and pantry and instead of a bounty of oh-so-fresh produce and gourmet meats and cheeses and high-end pastas and and and (the Barefoot Contessa really messes with your expectations, okay?), you find yourself traversing the murky waters of....

The Leftovers.

(Dun dun DUUUUUUN!!!)

Actually it ain't all that bad. It's great when you do have food left over from a really good meal. That means that you made extra and you get to enjoy your own cooking all over again!

Take this for example:

Ratatouille from a few nights ago, meet BBQ pork from a few more nights ago!I liked this combo actually. All the flavors were strong on their own, so it made quite the savory dish!Try this with other things in your fridge too! Though I'd stay away from that sauerkraut-orange chicken-beet salad-sandwich I see you planning in your head....Got Leftovers?
