Last night I cooked pork roast, green beans with onions and home made or "ho-made" as John says :) mashed potatoes. Today I'm going to use those same dishes (leftovers) from last night and make Pulled pork BBQ sandwiches with coleslaw and the left over mashed potatoes will be made into delicious potato cakes just like my Mom used to make! I've learned through the years that if you cook the onions in a little olive oil, salt and pepper before you add them to the potato batter, they lend a delightful flavor to the party!!!
Now, the reason I'm saying all of this is because so many people turn their noses up at leftovers! Don't waste the food...just turn it into something else that's just as tasty as the first meal!
I try not to waste anything. I'm becoming very "GREEN" conscious! I would love to be able to build a house that is completely "off the grid". My oldest brother and I have been talking about this for years. I'd use solar power, have a wind turbine, recycle rain water, I'd use wood from old, torn down homes for floors, windows, everything that I could find! It's very expensive initially, but it pays off. Can you imagine never having to pay another electric or gas bill? Can you imagine never having your power go out during a big storm and having to worry about your food or refrigerated medicines going bad? Ahhh. If only a had a few million dollars. I'd be completely green.
Well, that's enough for this morning. I have to get to the recycling center before it closes! Later, taters!!! :)
