Oh Boy, I Completely Forgot About That

And how in the world did I, I wonder? I walked out into the kitchen for an early snack. I don't eat breakfast, but I just felt hungry. I was looking around and saw we had some soup left over, a piece of braised pork, some corn, some mac and cheese, baked beans and other stuff. Then I saw it. In the back of the fridge on the bottom shelf. An old large butter tub that I knew was not actually butter. "What is that?" I wondered. I yanked it out and opened it up, and remembered as a matter of fact we did have meatloaf and somehow it completely slipped my mind. What a glorious find! Got it in the microwave as we speak and put some of the mac and cheese on my plate. This is going to be good eats!

@lovebuglena No. Nothing like that. lol. Usually I tend to be about 5-7 days depending on what it is, max. But generally, things don't ever take that long to use up. Most leftovers get used up in about 3 or so days.

I love meatloaf one of the best breakfast ever with fried rice and eggs. Have a great day.

I have to say, that DOES sound like a good combination.

Sounds good. I love cold meatloaf (if it was good to start with!)

@porwest I pour some Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce on it between white loaf bread with a good amount of crushed red peppers. Yum!

Man, let me tell you, sometimes I LOVE a meatloaf sandwich on toasted bread with some Miracle Whip and cheese. That's good eats, and doesn't need to be warmed up.

Only a couple of days at the time. Thankfully. I'd have hated to have forgotten about it completely and had to throw it away.

You must have guts of steel.

That definitely was a lucky find and glad you enjoyed it. Many times I forget what's in those containers and wind up throwing out something really good.

When it comes to reusing sour cream and butter containers and things like that, I TRY my best to put a different lid on it than what the tub says so I know it's not a tub of whatever. But that doesn't always work out.

Hunger is a good sauce as my Mum used to say.
