It being 2012, we can safely say the holidays are in the rearview mirror (Right? I’m not forgetting anything, am I?). Given that, I thought it’d be fun to swap tales of holiday leftover usage from your kitchen or others.
Katy, aka The Non-Consumer Advocate, aka Coin Girl, shared this one via Facebook:
Last night I made scalloped potatoes which included the mashed potatoes from Christmas. Tonight I made fettucine alfredo with the last of the whipped cream from Christmas. It turns out that adding obscene amounts of butter to leftovers is the key to palatability.
No food waste in 2012, but much cardiovascular disease.
Kudos to Katy for sacrificing her family’s health to use up those leftovers. Kidding!
While adding boatloads of butter to leftovers is certainly one way to use up your food, there are plenty of other options. What’s the American version of bubble and squeak? Hash?
Anyone have a leftover tale or tip?
