It's a cold, cloudy winter day in WI so tonight will be:

Turkey in gravy sandwiches cook in the crockpot (all day)
Cheesy Potato bake
Fresh salad
Home made Apple Pie.
 
A couple of the wife's long-time friends came into town to stay with us tonight so I made:

Seared scallops
Sliders with pimento cheese and red pepper jelly (ground the beef from boneless short ribs using a hand-cranked grinder)
Muffin pan potatoes au gratin (individual servings are cooked in a muffin pan and, no, I don't use that stuff in a box)
Caesar salad

Was tasty.
 
Pork shoulder Meso Ramen from Umai Ramen in Portland:

It was really good. Not quite as good as Ramen Tatsu-Ya in Austin...
 
Didn't go to my fav restaurant for this, but I had fish & chips + cole slaw. I doused the fish and fries with malt vinegar and have cheese cake for desert.
 
A pound of the best potato salad on earth... yeah, I've been perfecting the recipe for around a year and I make a pound of it once a week on weekends. I typically have it with one large (they make a smaller one too) Foster Farms chicken corn dog. 😎 I follow it later with a Sundae made with 6 oz Trader Joe's French Vanilla ice cream topped with a sliced banana and 1/4 cup mixed nuts (pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and cashews). It's a weekend ritual for me.

Been on a corn dog kick myself. Buying the State Fair all beefs.

When I first bought corn dogs from Costco they had the Foster Farms chicken and a different brand made with hot sausage. They cost a lot more, I bought a box of them but haven't seen them there for a long time. The Foster Farms are pretty good, though. I was going to Foster Freeze and getting their corn dogs, but I think they are really just Foster Farms chicken corn dogs, so I'm just buying them straight from Costco and freezing them (28 to the box).

Ultimately, is it a waste to throw uneaten food away? Sure. But it's going to go bad anyway, and why waste your time eating something you don't want to eat and making your health worse by over-eating just because mentally you don't want to "waste" the food and feel guilted into finishing a meal, which is really just over-consumption that contributes to poorer health?

I wouldn't throw away pizza, personally. I'd refrigerate the leftovers and eat it later.

I don't throw out much food, hardly any. Stuff does go bad and you have to toss it, but I plan pretty well. My fridge and freezer are full, but not much of it will go to waste.

Those starving Chinese kids sick of American leftovers: I have to wonder how Americans send Chinese kids 1/2 way around the world their 1/2 eaten lunch. 😕

Had my first Big Mac is oh, probably 15 years. It will be another 15 before I try it again 🙁

Two 1/8" patties was pretty disappointing. The Whopper is better. Surprisingly, McDonald's chocolate-chip cookies are the best fast-food cookies I've tried.
 
Smoked pork shank rubbed in brown sugar and slow cooked in a covered pan with apple juice, roasted red potatoes, and green bean casserole.
 
Brussel Sprout with bacon in Beer reduction
Queso with pretzel bread
Stuffed mushrooms (Venison,onion, garlic, cheese)
Grilled radicchio Caesar salad
Tuna rare in sesame seed coating rice noodles with wasabi and vegetable medley
Cajun Chicken pasta
Whiskey cake with apples, ice cream and whipped cream

Had with daughter and boyfriend who "closed" my yard for winter.
2 Giant local beers and 2 ice tea 99.11 before tip.
What a country!
 
Went to a Japanese BBQ place in Singapore and had some Australian and Japanese waygu and goddammit it was good....
 
Made a chocolate roux and ended up with a really nice chicken and sausage gumbo. Had filé, didn't need it; but it did have okra, as any self-respecting gumbo should.

Served over long grain rice.
