Adventures in leftover lunches

[fractionMan]

In an attempt to (a) spend less money and (b) not eat so many bacon sandwiches, pasties and other assorted health bombs I've decided to *gasp* start making my own lunches again. Now, being the lazy and disorganised being that I am I expect it's going to be whatever's lying about and fits in a tupperware box. This thread is to help me keep up the momentum.

Today's delight is...

Roast dinner risotto with oyster sauce.

And I'm going to give it a pretty decent 8/10

rissoto with oyster sauce? I hear by revoke your WMC membership

 

[fractionMan]

Well, I say risotto but it was more like a Chinese pork stew with rice. All mixed up together to form a rissoto like texture.

 

[fractionMan]

What's more there's enough leftovers from the leftovers to power me through tomorrows lunch as well

 

[Onket]

I never have any leftovers.

 

[fractionMan]

I've started cooking three times as much as I need instead of double. I now have leftovers.

 

[Onket]

Defeats the purpose a bit, doesn't it? If you cook more so that you then have leftovers.

Roast dinner chines pork stew risotto type thing with oyster sauce, sounds awful

Saves making food more then once.

well yes, but this is supposed to be an exercise in frugality, if you are just cooking an extra dinner to have the next day then you might as well go greggs.

Nah still cheaper to cook more at a time...same as it's cheaper per portion to cook for more people.

Plus there's the faint chance it will be slightly healthy. My waistline is worryingly expanding.

That said I failed today and had a fry up.
