Leftovers

I am the leftover King!  I love them.  I work afternoons so leftovers are a way to eat home cooking at work.  When Robin was working we ate out a lot.  Take out, eat in, drive thru, it was convenient albeit more expensive.  But when we had two incomes that was the trade off.  Now we are back to one income and I am enjoying having home cooked meals again more often.  Although I'm pretty good at weeding out the leftovers from our fridge there are pitfalls I've found.  Case in point, chili.  Robin made chili one day.  It was a special meal for me since I'm the only one in our family who likes chili.  I add cheese to melt on top and add a little sour cream and waa-laa, a delicious meal for me to take to work.  Since Robin made a large batch we decided to seal some up and freeze it.  A few weeks ago I found myself searching for leftovers in the fridge and to my disappointment there were none!  Oh the horror!!!!  Then I remembered we had froze some chili!  Saved by forethought and large batches!  Or so I thought.  There were 2 bags in the freezer, one large and one medium sized.  I saw the word "chili" on the large bag but it was much too big for a meal so I went for the medium sized bag.  I placed it in my lunch kit, added some sour cream and cheese in containers and off I went to work.  Chili was on my mind all the way up to dinner time.  I took the chili out of the bag, placed it into a bowl and popped it into the microwave.  After about 2 minutes, I stirred it and replaced it for another minute.  Ahh steaming, hot, wonderful chili awaited.  But wait, as I stirred it I noticed....a mushroom cycle thru the bowl.  Hmmmm, I certainly didn't remember mushrooms in the chili, so I went for a taste.  AARRRGGGG my chili was spaghetti sauce!!!  So there I was, at work, hungry, craving chili, but having only spaghetti sauce.  No noodles!  No bread!!  The dinner I was salivating over was now a bowl of spaghetti sauce.  Being the leftover King I did what every good man faced with such a dilemma would do.  I ate spaghetti sauce for dinner.  Maybe next time I'll take just noodles and call it even.
