Today's lunch was just that, leftovers, which is what I have almost every day for lunch but these were special leftovers. They were sushi leftovers from our Japanese dinner last night.

| Before |
I decided to dress up my plate a little since I was having the best of all leftovers (in my opinion) and pulled out some Asian inspired plates and soup spoons I had scored at Goodwill for less than two dollars! The lunch was delicious, just as delicious as dinner was the night before.

| After And I was in such a good mood afterwards, I decided to move our very heavy couch for Woods and dig out all of his play toys he shoves under there. I found the following: |
4 pens
3 hairties
2 straws
1 q-tip--gross!
3 ball toys that have bells in each of them
1 catnip mouse
1 Santa string toy (his favorite)
7 milk rings (a close second)
To say it looked like this is no exaggeration. That should keep him busy for a while!
What's your take on leftovers? Love them or leave them?
And because I know Woods' girlfriend would love to see what his favorite toys are, I am linking up with Jenn for What I Ate Wednesdays :)

Jenn @ Peas & Crayons
and btw you ROCK for keeping up with my leftover theme for WIAW!
ReplyDeleteI didn't appreciate leftovers properly until I was probably 22. Now I love them! It's yummy food with practically zero effort. That sushi picture is making me seriously hungry. Wednesdays are the only day I work during the daytime, and every few weeks I get takeout avocado rolls from the Japanese place around the corner from my house on the way home. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI don't like leftovers (there I said it!) except Asian meal (hehe).
ReplyDeleteThe precious things that Woods got look about the same for Coco & Chanel. Gosh, life as a cat!
@ Jenn: I'll work on it on all fronts!
ReplyDelete@ Kim: Yum! That sounds delicious! I made the rolls extra avocado-y last night because it is my favorite part of the roll :)
@ StarletStarlet: That's okay, I won't hold it against you :) Doesn't a cat's life just sound lovely sometimes?!
I like leftovers- the right ones. Some meals are so exciting the next day for lunch, others I give to my husband!
ReplyDeleteOkay...I'm trying desperately NOT to salivate over the streusel. Failing miserable :).
ReplyDeleteOoh, I was watching an older episode of The Barefoot Contessa and she threw leftover roasted veggies into the blender and whipped together a soup. That kind of leftovers I can do so I totally commend you for enjoying the tasty goodness that is!
@ ann: I do the same thing...shhh!
ReplyDelete@ Morgan: That Barefoot Contessa, she is so clever :) It is going to be bad for my waist line now that I know how to make streusel!
I could never get into sushi for leftovers. It's a one-time deal for me haha.
ReplyDeleteI can do some leftovers (pasta and pizza) but others I just can't really get into (most meats). I've gotten a lot better though!
I've never made sushi before. I think it would be dangerous if I learned how!
ReplyDelete@ Every Little Thing: I hear you! If it were sashimi, I would not be eating it the next day but since it's just some cooked crab I figured I'd be safe :)
ReplyDelete@ Melissa: It is a little dangerous but it takes enough time to make the rice that I'm not tempted to make it too often!
I LOVE leftovers. No one else in my family will touch them (weirdos!) ... which leaves way more for me! :)
ReplyDelete@ Jenn: Sounds like a good deal to me :) No fighting over them, which sometimes happens in our house!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE leftovers. If a meal is delicious, why not enjoy it twice?! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy leftovers alot....hello, easy lunch. My silly husband will not eat the same thing two nights in a row....but this is an improvement over his initail response of refusing to eat them at all.....I guess when you are one of 6 kids, there weren't very many leftovers, so I suppose it might seem odd. On a totally random side note....I have that same set of Asian dishes!
ReplyDelete@ Courtney: Exactly my thinking on the subject!
ReplyDelete@ Lynne: That makes sense but I'm glad he's slowly coming around :) That is too funny that we have the same dishes--I love them! Great thrift store find for me.
