> Thanksgiving dinner leftovers seem to be a poor fit for being good as leftovers, but they’re great. The best part of hosting Thanksgiving dinner is being able to eat the leftovers all weekend. By Saturday evening, my wife is tired of Thanksgiving food and is ready to move on. Not me. I’ll be taking a turkey sandwich along for lunch at work the following Monday.

IF I have leftover meatloaf, I generally don’t heat it up, I eat it in a sandwich. I love a meatloaf sandwich on white bread with mayo.

I also enjoy roast turkey leftovers. I think that while deli roast turkey is all right, a home roasted turkey is even better.

Home made salsa tastes better after a few days in the fridge.
