freezing stuff

I'm pretty excited right now. I made some delicious vegetarian chili about 2 weeks ago and had a TON leftover. Generally in this situation I would throw out the leftovers because I HATE leftovers, which is very wasteful and selfish of me because all those starving children in Africa could have eaten my very delicious leftovers, and given the option I would be glad to send it to them if I had an address to send it to, but the fact is I don't, so that means mr. trash can gets to eat my delicious leftovers and geez, he probably doesn't even appreciate them as much as someone with a stomach and tastebuds would. Anyway, the point is 2 weeks ago, after I realized I had enough leftover chili to feed a family of 4 for a week, I thought twice about my wasteful habits and decided to freeze it. For the first time in my life, I froze my leftovers. So then today, after a long day at school I came home and skeptically pulled those delicious leftovers out of the freezer, popped them in the microwave for a few minutes, and hallelujah! They are delicious! I would go so far to say they are even more delicious than 2 weeks ago. What a beautiful discovery that will save the Hartmans much future time and money. My mother would be so proud.

  1. You should post the recipe for that darn good chili and yes, your mother would be--and is--proud. And you should post a photo of the darn good chili, too.

  2. Way to go Aubrey! I agree- frozen leftovers the 2nd round is even better b/c you don't have to labor in the kitchen the second time!
