We've we 1571 00:55:41,775 --> 00:55:43,295 are at a point now one day a 1572 00:55:43,295 --> 00:55:45,695 week is always left overnight Mhmm. Because we 1573 00:55:45,695 --> 00:55:47,849 have just enough leftovers. But sometimes, 1574 00:55:48,550 --> 00:55:49,929 we have too many leftovers. 1575 00:55:52,550 --> 00:55:54,570 And am I a person who will stretch, 1576 00:55:56,710 --> 00:55:58,630 how much time you should keep something and 1577 00:55:58,630 --> 00:56:00,644 try to keep eating on it. Uh-huh. Because 1578 00:56:00,644 --> 00:56:01,844 I know what it I know what it 1579 00:56:01,844 --> 00:56:03,765 is to have a slightly empty fridge. Like, 1580 00:56:03,765 --> 00:56:05,545 it's I get it. I I know. 1581 00:56:06,164 --> 00:56:06,664 But, 1582 00:56:07,525 --> 00:56:10,405 yeah, they're I yeah. We've probably I've probably 1583 00:56:10,405 --> 00:56:11,765 kept things for too long because I was 1584 00:56:11,765 --> 00:56:13,204 like, oh, it's a waste if I throw 1585 00:56:13,204 --> 00:56:13,864 it away. 1586 00:56:15,409 --> 00:56:16,630 Oh, we shouldn't do that. 1587 00:56:17,170 --> 00:56:17,670 But, 1588 00:56:18,690 --> 00:56:20,869 you know, Kim says we should trade leftovers. 1589 00:56:21,009 --> 00:56:23,250 Not gonna lie. Somebody else's leftovers always look 1590 00:56:23,250 --> 00:56:25,250 way better than your own leftovers. Be interesting. 1591 00:56:25,250 --> 00:56:27,344 You know, a big like a a Like 1592 00:56:27,425 --> 00:56:30,005 Like a swap meat for leftovers? Mhmm. Just, 1593 00:56:30,065 --> 00:56:32,465 you know Yeah. That's kind of the first 1594 00:56:32,465 --> 00:56:33,045 of all, 1595 00:56:33,505 --> 00:56:35,045 some things do taste better 1596 00:56:35,744 --> 00:56:38,484 the second day or later. Yeah. Chili, spaghetti 1597 00:56:38,625 --> 00:56:40,945 sauce, like, things that just taste better the 1598 00:56:40,945 --> 00:56:42,890 longer they can kind of simmer and cook 1599 00:56:42,890 --> 00:56:44,750 anyway. They get happy. Right. 1600 00:56:45,210 --> 00:56:46,989 Some things do not 1601 00:56:47,289 --> 00:56:49,930 taste as good. No. And sometimes just down 1602 00:56:50,090 --> 00:56:52,030 there were years I couldn't eat leftover 1603 00:56:52,329 --> 00:56:54,329 chicken. If it had to be reheated in 1604 00:56:54,329 --> 00:56:56,730 the microwave, had such a funky taste to 1605 00:56:56,730 --> 00:56:58,304 me, I could not eat it, would not 1606 00:56:58,304 --> 00:57:01,344 eat it. Now I found tricks to avoid 1607 00:57:01,344 --> 00:57:01,844 that, 1608 00:57:02,224 --> 00:57:03,204 both the rubber, 1609 00:57:03,905 --> 00:57:07,425 texture of microwaved reheated chicken Mhmm. And the 1610 00:57:07,425 --> 00:57:10,965 flavor, sauce or butter. Something that will override 1611 00:57:11,025 --> 00:57:13,449 the there's a flavor to reheated chicken. I 1612 00:57:13,449 --> 00:57:13,949 just 1613 00:57:15,210 --> 00:57:17,849 but do I cook like I'm feeding a 1614 00:57:17,849 --> 00:57:20,590 football team? Anytime I'm cooking something with chicken 1615 00:57:20,809 --> 00:57:21,550 and rice 1616 00:57:21,929 --> 00:57:24,170 or something and potato. Yes. And then I 1617 00:57:24,170 --> 00:57:25,309 don't wanna eat it 1618 00:57:26,675 --> 00:57:27,175 because 1619 00:57:27,795 --> 00:57:29,414 I don't really like leftover chicken. 1620 00:57:30,594 --> 00:57:33,074 I don't meal prep chicken by cooking it 1621 00:57:33,074 --> 00:57:34,994 if the plan is to have to reheat 1622 00:57:34,994 --> 00:57:36,755 it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If I can if 1623 00:57:36,755 --> 00:57:38,514 it's like grilled chicken, I'm gonna eat cold 1624 00:57:38,514 --> 00:57:40,054 and a cold salad. That's fine. 1625 00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:41,559 But if 1626 00:57:42,099 --> 00:57:43,940 I'm plan to reheat the chicken later, I 1627 00:57:43,940 --> 00:57:45,860 cannot cook it. It tastes Yeah. It tastes 1628 00:57:45,860 --> 00:57:47,480 so bad. Even in 1629 00:57:47,940 --> 00:57:49,800 an air fryer, it still tastes funky. 1630 00:57:50,420 --> 00:57:52,420 Don't like it. And she said lasagna is 1631 00:57:52,420 --> 00:57:55,320 a great leftover. It is. Indeed it is. 1632 00:57:56,925 --> 00:57:58,765 Indeed it is. Was it you asked me 1633 00:57:58,765 --> 00:58:00,445 to make you lasagna or I offered to 1634 00:58:00,445 --> 00:58:01,965 make you lasagna that was, like 1635 00:58:03,644 --> 00:58:05,885 It was for some reason. Last year? No. 1636 00:58:05,885 --> 00:58:06,525 It feels like something 1637 00:58:07,085 --> 00:58:07,585 recent. 1638 00:58:07,965 --> 00:58:10,125 What was it? It was special for you. 1639 00:58:10,125 --> 00:58:10,625 Mhmm. 1640 00:58:11,239 --> 00:58:12,679 What the fuck was it? Because it was 1641 00:58:12,679 --> 00:58:14,039 your special day, and I was like, I'll 1642 00:58:14,039 --> 00:58:16,359 cook for you. What would you like? Fuck 1643 00:58:16,359 --> 00:58:18,699 it. I don't I made lasagna, though. You 1644 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:19,500 did. 1645 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,139 Mhmm. And it was damn good. 1646 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,199 You know what it was? I think we 1647 00:58:24,199 --> 00:58:26,219 do this this is another thing we do. 1648 00:58:26,804 --> 00:58:28,244 Not as often as we used to, but 1649 00:58:28,244 --> 00:58:30,344 for a while, we did it semi regularly. 1650 00:58:30,405 --> 00:58:32,964 We do at home date nights. Mhmm. Mhmm. 1651 00:58:32,964 --> 00:58:33,864 And it wasn't 1652 00:58:34,405 --> 00:58:36,085 meant to be kinky. It was just meant 1653 00:58:36,085 --> 00:58:36,744 to, like, 1654 00:58:37,045 --> 00:58:38,425 have a special meal 1655 00:58:39,309 --> 00:58:40,510 and have it just be the two of 1656 00:58:40,510 --> 00:58:42,130 us, no child at a table. 1657 00:58:43,230 --> 00:58:45,309 The youngest loves when we do those special 1658 00:58:45,309 --> 00:58:48,190 date nights because I'm not cooking a separate 1659 00:58:48,190 --> 00:58:50,190 meal while cooking some special thing we would 1660 00:58:50,190 --> 00:58:51,869 not normally eat. They usually wind up with 1661 00:58:51,869 --> 00:58:53,655 McDonald's or something like that. I'm like, here 1662 00:58:53,894 --> 00:58:54,635 is your, 1663 00:58:55,094 --> 00:58:55,994 chicken nuggies 1664 00:58:56,534 --> 00:58:58,775 and your Doctor Pepper that's, like, in a 1665 00:58:58,775 --> 00:59:00,954 bucket or something. Yeah. Have a good night. 1666 00:59:01,574 --> 00:59:03,494 They're in heaven, and then we get to 1667 00:59:03,494 --> 00:59:04,934 sit down and have a food that I 1668 00:59:04,934 --> 00:59:07,170 could not even put on the table for 1669 00:59:07,170 --> 00:59:07,670 that 1670 00:59:08,050 --> 00:59:08,550 child 1671 00:59:09,889 --> 00:59:10,210 to eat. So 1672 00:59:11,170 --> 00:59:12,849 That is true. Yeah. We haven't done that 1673 00:59:12,849 --> 00:59:14,309 in a hot minute. I think the lasagna 1674 00:59:14,369 --> 00:59:15,409 might have been a day. 1675 00:59:15,889 --> 00:59:17,730 Been. Might have been. Anyway, yeah, there are 1676 00:59:17,730 --> 00:59:20,210 certain things I I will I'm happy to 1677 00:59:20,210 --> 00:59:21,925 eat the left overs on. Pastas. 1678 00:59:22,304 --> 00:59:22,804 Mhmm. 1679 00:59:25,664 --> 00:59:26,724 Chili.

Fucking delicious. I am part potato. 1720 01:00:52,925 --> 01:00:53,425 So 1721 01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:55,259 now that we've 1722 01:00:56,039 --> 01:00:57,739 got me thinking about potatoes, 1723 01:01:00,519 --> 01:01:02,359 I would not oh, I would not No. 1724 01:01:02,359 --> 01:01:03,659 It's too late in the evening. 1725 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:05,819 No. No. No. No. I'm thinking future. 1726 01:01:06,519 --> 01:01:09,179 A date night where you grill steaks 1727 01:01:09,494 --> 01:01:12,454 and I spend a million years making twice 1728 01:01:12,454 --> 01:01:14,454 baked potatoes. Did we have this conversation? Have 1729 01:01:14,454 --> 01:01:15,734 you ever had a twice baked potato? I 1730 01:01:15,734 --> 01:01:16,394 have not. 1731 01:01:17,174 --> 01:01:19,494 I have not. Oh my god. I I 1732 01:01:19,494 --> 01:01:21,275 even had to ask you what it is. 1733 01:01:21,414 --> 01:01:23,574 Okay. So if you don't know, I here's 1734 01:01:23,574 --> 01:01:24,714 the thing. My dad, 1735 01:01:25,190 --> 01:01:26,470 I don't know if he loved to cook, 1736 01:01:26,470 --> 01:01:27,630 but there was a point in life he 1737 01:01:27,670 --> 01:01:28,789 there was no choice if we were gonna 1738 01:01:28,789 --> 01:01:30,070 eat. He had to cook, and he just 1739 01:01:30,070 --> 01:01:32,630 kinda went all out. And so he made 1740 01:01:32,630 --> 01:01:34,570 all kinds of stuff. Twice baked potatoes 1741 01:01:34,869 --> 01:01:36,869 was semi regular in our house. If you 1742 01:01:36,869 --> 01:01:38,809 don't know what a twice baked potato is, 1743 01:01:39,164 --> 01:01:41,085 oh, my god. Let me bring you into 1744 01:01:41,085 --> 01:01:43,405 the fold. You bake a potato. Bake the 1745 01:01:43,405 --> 01:01:45,644 potato. However you bake the potato. Cut kind 1746 01:01:45,644 --> 01:01:48,045 of part of the top off. Scoop out 1747 01:01:48,045 --> 01:01:50,364 the guts. You want it fully cooked. Scoop 1748 01:01:50,364 --> 01:01:52,304 out the potato. Leave a shell. 1749 01:01:52,605 --> 01:01:54,659 You were then gonna take that transfer scooped 1750 01:01:54,659 --> 01:01:56,500 out potato and you can mix it with 1751 01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:57,800 whatever you want. But typically, 1752 01:01:58,179 --> 01:02:00,739 we would do butter and cheese and maybe 1753 01:02:00,739 --> 01:02:02,420 like a sour cream or a milk or 1754 01:02:02,420 --> 01:02:04,519 a cream to like make it creamier, 1755 01:02:05,539 --> 01:02:07,800 scallions, bacon, whatever, whatever, whatever. 1756 01:02:08,945 --> 01:02:10,945 Just that all up and then you put 1757 01:02:10,945 --> 01:02:11,844 that mixture 1758 01:02:12,545 --> 01:02:14,085 back in the potato. 1759 01:02:14,704 --> 01:02:16,625 Because you've got that little hollowed out shell 1760 01:02:16,625 --> 01:02:17,445 of a potato 1761 01:02:17,744 --> 01:02:19,985 probably topped with cheese.
