Which is a little high, but I don’t care. My lunch leftovers were at least 25% better than the original dish. Wednesday Leftover chicken katsu, freshly fried, because I employed the trick of breading all the chicken but not frying all of it the first night. Two words we do not tend to use for leftover fried chicken!)

Tuesday We had too many leftovers in the fridge (happens in a jiffy with just two people!), Wednesday I took some leftover ravioli out of the fridge, made an eyeballed Alfredo-style sauce, added in chopped kale, and mixed it all with the ravioli. I am so happy and relieved. And now it’s time to study for the exam next Tuesday.

Admittedly, I am a little OCD about it and have been know to eat leftovers for days just so I don’t have to throw them away. It actually doesn’t bother me to eat the same thing for 2-3 days, but I know several people who will not eat leftovers at all. Or, you could always bring what’s left to work.
