I like foraging in the fridge and finding little bits of this and that and then putting them together into a new meal. Some food like casseroles, stews and soups actually become more flavorful and enjoyable when they age. There are some things that were a bad idea to begin with and don't get picked up on the leftover circuit. These are then found at the back of the fridge with a bulging lid in about a month or so........oh well, nobody's perfect. We love leftovers at our house.

I often cook in "batch mode" (i.e. more than I can eat at one meal). Pop the rest in a container and fridge it. Then eat it w/in 2 or 3 days. Some food actually tastes better the next day (and even cold instead of hot). I've heard people say they do not eat leftovers as if it's "below their personal standard". Well that's their choice and they are free to do so, but like you said they are missing out. Leftovers are great. I often cook in “batch mode” (i.e. more than I can eat at one meal).

Teach a person to re-work his own leftovers, and you feed him for a lifetime:-) Slayer-

You make leftovers sound like a gourmet meal! Sounds like a perfecty way to finish that last glass of wine sitting in the bottle in the fridge.
