My appetite seems to be decreasing with old age. I had a burrito Tuesday or so and kept half for later consumption. Today, I sliced off a quarter of what remained, and baked it up for lunch. It was fully satisfying. Of course I added some Swiss cheese and onions, and the result was one happy camper (moi).
Do you have favorite ideas for how to make leftovers truly delicious?

I had "instant grilled cheese" (toast some bread, put cheese slices on the bread as soon as it pops out of the toaster, then stick it in the microwave to help melting) and chicken soup for lunch.
As Andy Griffith used to say, it would've been better if it had sat on a Ritz....

I still have too good of an appetite most days. The belly shows it.

Lunch was basically a strawberry smoothie.

I do a lot of creative things with leftovers and they become a mouth watering dish.

We usually give our leftovers to some stray dogs in our area.

@freelancermariagrace A friend of mine and his wife take care of about five stray cats in their back yard. Some eventually become "inside cats."

I've noticed the decreasing appetite, too. I can't eat nearly as much as I used to.
It's too much work for me to add anything to leftovers. Just getting them in the microwave is a big accomplishment.

@TheHorse Ok, we'll go with that! It's just a recent old age problem!

I love to handle the leftovers. They spare me from cooking
