My husband's macaroni and cheese reheated on the second day. He always makes enough for two meals and it's even better the second time around. I love the crunchy bits. :wub:

Fajitas, I'll stand at the kitchen counter and eat them cold the next day. Beef, it's what's for breakfast.

Add me to the leftover meatloaf sandwich camp, except I like to fry it first, getting the edges nice and crispy (everything's better with butter, you know). Either ketchup or mayo on that sandwich works well.

If no one else is at home and there are leftover mashed potatoes in the fridge, I reheat them on the stove, adding cheeses I have on hand and maybe sour cream if I have it. I then add a large amount of frozen peas to the mixture, which is something I only eat secretly because it's so trashy.

My Mexican friends adore leftover mashed potatoes. They take a handful, pat it out, put some cheese and rajas (roasted green chile strips) in the center, fold it over and seal the edges to make a fat patty, and then fry it. Unbelievably good.

And you really must have cold, leftover rice to make a proper fried rice.

I don't understand why rappers have to hunch over while they stomp around the stage hollering.  It hurts my back to watch them. On the other hand, I've been thinking that perhaps I should start a rap group here at the Old Folks' Home.  Most of us already walk like that.

My mom's pork roast and sauerkraut is one of those leftovers-taste-even-better-the-next-day type dish.

The first night it all tastes great with all of the elements seperate (pork roast, sauerkraut and dumplings) but then she combines everything for easier storage in the fridge and it just elevates it to a higher level of flavor the next day.

Her Navy Bean soup is another that tastes better the next day as leftovers.

Definitely leftover Indian or Thai food of any description, especially if it's a curry.

Stuffed naan. I'll eat that cold, for breakfast, any day of the week!
