I was told today that I have
graduated to the extreme team.....
LOL! Why was I told this? Well because. Because I did something today that some people may think is too much.
What'd I do?............drum roll. I rinsed
barbecue sauce off leftover pork chops from 2 nights ago so I could use the pork in pork stir fried rice tonight. I didn't find it
extreme at all...seemed really normal to me. I am fully aware that "my normal" seems sometimes strange to others...wink wink. Did I really want to
throw away 3 perfectly good pork chops that were left over just because of something as simple as
barbecue sauce??? NO WAY! They rinsed off pretty darn good too...and honestly...once they are chopped all up into
itty bitty bits and in the stir fried rice with all it's veggie and soy sauce salty goodness....who will ever know? Well my wallet will know. My bank account will know...my freezer will know
cuz I didn't have to raid it for a fresh pack of pork, and my tummy will know....because it's got another great meal. Here is the offender...
heehee, on the left...them and their co conspirators- on the right...a few strips of leftover pork loin that I pulled out of the freezer. Looks like a pretty good pile-o-meat to me! Neither on their own enough for much...but together...they'll make a great team for
tonight's dinner!
All chopped up and ready to go!
Dinner is served
You know, one of my favorite scriptures about leftovers (
yes even leftovers are in the Bible) is John 6:12....when Jesus was feeding the multitudes: When they all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted."
Please share your tips that may label you one of the
extreme team!!
