Leftovers

[jamesq]

It's lunchtime and I'm at work. I'm eating the hot and sour sizzling rice we had from Spicy Hut yesterday. I think I like it even better the next day then I do when it's hot off the stove.

Quick review: Awesome food as always but the service is almost comically bad. Except for your order and when they bring it out, you will be ignored. It's like a bunch of really gifted chronic introverts started a restaurant - they only talk to you when they absolutely have to, but the food makes up for the lack of chattiness.

So what other foods are as good or better after they've been left in the refrigerator overnight? Pizza certainly hits the spot and may well be a nearly perfect breakfast food. Anything else?

A really spicy curry. The ones I make taste great the day I cook them up, but even better the next day once they have settled and the spices soaked in.

I think this might be why I like the hot-and-sour sizzling rice better the next day. It's had a whole day in the fridge to 1) cut the edge of the spiciness to a pleansantly hot tang and 2) the rice swells up and turns into a paste with a porridge-like consistency (yes this is a compliment).

Eeeeeeew. Paste.

When I got home, my potato soup I had forgotten on the table had indeed turned into a strange grey sort of pudding with a film of water on the top. I did not try to eat it.

I found my odd concoction of tomatoey-artichoke heart goodness tasted better the next day. mmmMMM artichoke hearts.

Ewwww! leftover pizza is so not good! What I have always enjoyed when I ate it were fish sticks. Fish sticks were good when you made them, but they were better the next day after you left them sitting on the cookie tray on top the stove all night. You get up in the morning and pick them up and eat them. Yum!

But I haven't had fish sticks in years, so they may not really taste good anymore.

One word.

KFC.

Or is that 3 words?
