So I am bad about wasting leftovers, so here are two meals - from the same day - where I used them! I am trying to be better about it because food waste is bad and expensive

Used leftover spinach and artichoke dip and some cheese to make a grilled cheese

Took a bit of leftover burger with bacon and onion and mixed it in with a scrambled egg, threw it in a tortilla, gave it a light grill, and ate with some sauce

Not bad. I will train myself to love the leftovers!

Strawberry, clementine, lemonade

I made this earlier and liked the taste enough to tell the great inter webs like a bee telling the hive about some neat flower I found ig :’)

You will need…

Strawberries

Sweet clementines or easy peely clementines

Lemons

Sugar

Honey

A measuring jug

A pot

Collender

Any thing that can boil water/is hot (eg stove top, hot plate, a small fire, you ect…)

(You can use as many of any of the edible ingredients as you want)

How 2 mak…

Put 200ml of water into the measuring jug and don’t pour it out

roll and squeeze your lemons to get the juices flowing

Cut the lemons in half, and squeeze the life and soul out of them until there nothing more than pulp and skin, DO NOT THROW THIS STUFF AWAY YET.

Repeat steps one and 2 for the clementines

Cut your strawberries into quarters and dump them into the measuring jug

Get your lemon and clementine skin/pulp and chop them up and dump them into the water alongside the strawberries

Add in your preferred amount of sugar and honey into the jug and stir

Get your pot and heat it over your preferred cooking thing

Pour in the contents of the measuring jug into the pot and begin to boil it, regularly stirring, you can boil it for as long as you want I guess but I’d personally recommend 10-20 minutes on medium heat or until the lemon/clementine peels are floppy

After your done boiling pour the pulpy water through the colander over a jug of your choice to separate the pulp from the sweet sweet good juice, do whatever you want with the pulp idc

Finally put the jug into the fridge with a few ice cubes inside and wait 2 hours, at which point you will be able to enjoy your sweet pink liquid.

cooking is so fun. i remember when i was a teen and my mom was teaching me a recipe that needed room temperature butter, as the consistency would change the dough - but we only had kinda frozen butter from the refrigerator so we'd have to make do. while kneading, she said to me "don't worry, the heat from our hands will warm it up quickly enough". and yeah, we leave traces of ourselves and our love in the food and i think that's why cooking to someone is so affectionate. even our warmth will change the taste or texture of the food we prepare
