Loss of Appetite

Today, I would like to discuss a cooking term that I have recently been introduced to.  This term was never brought up when I was learning to cook.  It is leftovers.

As a child and a young man, I had what I will call a healthy appetite.  However, as I am getting up in years that is no longer really the case.  I cannot eat like I use to.

Recently, my wife and I have started planning our Thanksgiving dinner.  We, at the moment, are going to be celebrating alone, so we agreed that a turkey breast from M&M will be much more appropriate for us than a full turkey.  A full turkey would likely kept us fed until at least Halloween.

So I guess it is time to make some changes to how we prepare meals in our house. It started a year or so ago when we got a "food saver" system.  Now we can break bigger packages of things like meat down into more appropriate portions.

Last week, I placed five library books on hold, so far I have gotten two.  All of them are cookbooks designed for cooking for two people.  Meals that once upon a time I would have eaten on my own.
