3. Leftover Landslide

12/29/2006

I have officially mastered the art of the leftover landslide, or using leftovers to create a dish whose leftovers are used to make another dish, and so on.
I made chicken tacos a few weeks ago and used the leftover chicken & veggies to make a tortilla soup. The tortilla soup has been rigged up to serve as a main dish as well as a nice side dish with a few simple modifications.
A few days ago, I made garlic rosemary diced potatoes. The leftovers were mashed & used to make really good hash browns yesterday morning. Those leftovers were mixed with roasted corn & browned hamburger & cheese to make a really good hot dish thing for dinner.
I love seeing the leftovers trickle down… I wonder how long something could last & be modified if you made enough of it.
