taking home leftovers
I am consistently surprised when people don’t take home leftovers from restaurants. Immense food waste. What the fuck is wrong with you?
They taste great the next day and require little to no effort to re-heat / prepare.

I am a BIG leftovers advocate. Bang for your buck!

I always ask for a box for leftovers! It keeps me from overeating, too (saving enough to make a meal out of later instead of taking those extra few bites). However, thanks to my ADHD, I end up leaving the damn container on my table 75+% of the time. Just happened to me at Texas Roadhouse. I’m still sad about that one 😆

I try to remember to bring my own containers. Probably a 75% success rate on that

Literally any time that I just can’t for whatever reason, I feel genuine devastation about it—being able to buy food from restaurants is such a privilege & I hate seeing the food itself & that effort from the chef just wasted like that

I have no shame. I'll take the garnish - it might come in useful later.

Leftovers
Baffles me when someone says they hate leftovers. So many recipes explicitly state that the dish is better the next day. Pasta and rice are even easier on your gut the day after! Leftovers are delicious, convenient, and save you time and money 😤

making the leftover plate
work catered chipotle for us today, slay! and there was a decent amount leftover, and i was debated making a plate to bring home. for a moment, i was worried about seeming greedy, but then i realized, who actually cares! if i don't bring home some, someone else will, and so it goes on. or, it would be wasted, which the thought of that is just.... devastating! you deserve to bring home the leftovers 🍴

walking home
If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home. I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
