Water/Black Coffee/Alcohol

I did have a lemonade when I hit Mission BBQ last week or whenever that was.

Haven't had soda on a consistent basis since middle school or so though.

I think sometime early 2020 or mid 2019 was the last time I had a drink of pop(soda) & before that....been a loooong time.

Randomly got one at some drive thru for a quick bite, & wanted to munch on some fries. Ordered Coke, took a sip & was good. Just really didn't do much for me, & for the sugar content on em, totally not worth it. I'd definitely take a drink of some Vanilla Coke, or maybe Surge, for nostalgia, & haven't had it since it released again

I used to drink pop when I was a kid quite a bit. Nothing wild, couple cans a day, but still horrible thinking back. Haven't touched an energy drink in roughly 8-10 years, but do miss the taste of Red Bull in some ways.

I drink water, herbal tea, & beer. Can't do any caffeine due to that 24hr tension headache withdrawal. I miss the whole process of coffee, & the fancy single origin beans, the smell

If I ever end up having kids, ain't no way in hell will they ever get pop, sugared up coffee drinks, energy drinks, & will drink juice sparingly. They'd get to try a sip of beer though when they are older than 3?ish though

How long do you guys keep leftovers for? I grilled chicken on Sunday...what's the latest day you would heat up leftovers?

Depends what it is.

Never more than a few days with meat, but I don’t have any research or science behind that.

Folks that meal prep cook for like 5-6 days worth of meals. So I assume you'd be good in that window.

I normally eat leftovers pretty quickly though.

 

[heelsandeers]

anything under a week easy

 

[jape]

Use your instincts. If it looks, smells, and tastes ok.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

If you cooked something on SUnday, I would eat it by WEDS.

That is my rule, but I would still eat it if it smelled fine.

 

[heelsandeers]

yeah, I usually eat leftovers right away

but that's more of a food quality thing than it is food safety. if they're kept at the right temp and not reheated and cooled a bunch they'll last longer than you would think

only foods you cook yourself though. I'm not trusting takeout leftovers more than a day or 2

 

[you go boy]

my fam is weird with leftovers.... make a big meal and plenty of leftovers left they never eat... always end up buying food instead of eating leftovers so they go like a week plus not eaten... I refuse to eat anything past a week but it's not unheard of to do so just doesn't taste as good as day 1 obviously lol

I don't really do leftovers past day 2, maybe 3 days, usually so I try to keep the portions tight. Things like chicken are disgusting beyond a certain point.

 

[walkingBred]

3 days max

 

[heelsandeers]

Things like chicken are disgusting beyond a certain point.

it can be. I think a lot depends on the quality and how it's prepared

if I brine a bird and roast or fry it those leftovers are pretty good for a while

This aint it chief.

Doesn't matter how it's prepared, can't shake that old flavor (to me).

It kind of is, though.

I know what you mean. that's pretty much the case with factory farmed birds

I've gotten into the habit of splurging on free range chicken more and don't really notice off flavors when it's reheated. 3-4 days later and still has zero (off) smell to it

meanwhile if you get a roto-chicken from the grocery store and don't finish it, those leftovers smell like death the very next day

 

[jrp44]

Let's get it

 

[heelsandeers]

^should've stuck with the leftovers

Shredded AMerican/Cheddar Cheese reminds me of Jail/Public School lunches.

You must have never eaten in a prison. Cheddar would be a welcomed treat. Off brand Kraft singles is as good as it gets.
