Most of the leftovers in my fridge right now would only be good for someone who wants to be sick tomorrow and not go to work or school. They’d have to sign a waiver releasing me from liability in case the illnesses progresses to something deadly, but then they’re more than free to sample some week-old maple glazed salmon or three-week-old dirty rice.
Actually, there might be a couple of broiled hot dogs that are still safe to eat, but who’d want to eat that?
The only tempting leftover food currently in my fridge is a tray of absolutely lovely lemon cupcakes. My husband’s aunt gave them to us after a party yesterday, and they are wonderful. I think they came from some fancy bakery. They’re plain white cupcakes, but the tops were cut off. They were spread with a lemon filling, like what you get in a lemon meringue pie. The cupcake tops were put back on over the lemon filling and dusted with powdered sugar. I am going to try making yellow cupcakes the same way, but with a chocolate filling!
So, yeah, I just added “clean out the fridge” to my to-do list for tomorrow.
