Working our way through a Costco rotisserie chicken. With reiterative leftovers.
Day 1 we ate one breast, a leg and a wing with salad and homemade biscuits.
Day 2 I made Japanese curry (packaged curry, potato, carrot, onion, mushroom, leftover roasted squash) with about half of what was left, shredded. Over rice, there was enough left over for three lunches.
(Day 3 we ate something else)
Day 4, I pulled out a container of stewed tomatoes, garlic, onions and peppers that were leftover from making ropa vieja, added tomato paste, oregano, red wine, pepper flakes and most of what was left of the chicken, served over linguini...
I've still got a lunch-worth of curry, a cup of sauce, and a cup of shredded chicken.
What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?
