Ode to Leftovers

Jump to Comments

Oh, chicken spaghetti, I’m sorry we forgot about you and relegated you to the back of the fridge for months.  I’m sure you were delicious … if you are into Ro-Tel, Velveeta, chicken, and spaghetti combined into one horrifyingly cheesy dish.  You were well-loved by all who consumed you (not me).  It’s not anything you did wrong; it’s just me and my irrational fear of cheese.

And, oh, boxed lasagna!  You were actually kind of good, despite being on par with Hamburger Helper in terms of being “homemade.”  I remember eating you for dinner after my day-long stint as a babysitter, and even though you are not my mama’s lasagna, which I will be eating for Christmas dinner in two weeks, I wish I would have eaten all of you.  You didn’t deserve to get so moldy.

Other leftovers, oh, other leftovers, I am sorry you met your demise in a trash can … and subsequently a Dumpster.  Thank you for the break from caf food and keeping the eggs and butter company and making it look like a real house.  I’m sorry it took so long to put you out of your misery.  May that never happen again.
