Then when you tell her to cook less, she says she does not want anyone going hungry.

Mom: ‘I only made a light snack,’ while gesturing to a mountain of lasagna.

Every Tuesday night at my house feels like a rehearsal for Thanksgiving, except without the football.

This is peak mom behavior.
Cooks for 12, serves 4, then acts shocked and personally betrayed by the leftovers like we betrayed her.

Dude, as an adult who spends most of my day light-headed because I can’t summon the motivation to consistently prepare food for myself, this is not a problem.
You have someone making you free, ample food. You can be as full as you want with no effort or money required. This is literally not a problem.

The leftovers can’t be saved and eaten the next day? Who doesn’t like a meal of good food that’s already waiting for you to just heat it up? We always planned for leftovers so as not to cook every night.

We have a rule at home: No food is thrown out.
We don’t buy ridiculous amounts of food so that it spoils, and whatever we cook either gets eaten or put in the freezer for when someone doesn’t want to eat what we’re having, or when we don’t want to cook.
I like to cook big dinners with multiple dishes, and we can usually eat three or four times from a single session.

Mom was basically food prepping for the week without the tiny containers. God help you if you forget to pull that cling wrap tight back over the casserole dish in the fridge.

As the 1 person that would actually eat the leftovers, I feel this.

Wait until you’re >20 and living alone. Leftovers in the fridge become gifts from God.

We had so much food go to waste everyday.
Before y’all jump to my mom’s defense.
Every fucking day was a different meal.
One day we would have soup, then mac and cheese, then rice and beef, chicken with veggies, then baked potatoes, then sandwiches.
“Oh but you can freeze that stuff”
You can’t when it’s stock full of frozen chicken, fish sticks, nuggets, fries, and some frozen leftovers already
Fuck that. I got my own place and I cook enough for 2 days extra as I make that my lunch for work once that’s gone I’ll cook something else

My dad used to do this shit. There would be like four adults and two kids and he would make two packages of hot dogs, 10 cheeseburgers, six steaks, and then be mad there’s so much leftovers.
I have my own damn fridge and freezer of food, I don’t need to freeze hamburgers.

Who is throwing out leftovers? I’m not familiar with that lifestyle. If the leftovers survive until the next day it was a miracle. That would mean skipping 2nd dinner AND 3rd dinner before going to sleep. Almost impossible.

That’s the point of making big batches of food: so you have meals for other days so you don’t have to cook.
Do people really not understand this concept???

Since moving out I have learned to comfortably make exactly enough food so that I have one serving for sure and a little bit extra incase i want another bowl

lol we had so much mashed potato left overs but, our grandma taught my mom how to make really fkn good ‘ potato cakes’ in mornings. Basically mashed potatoes with chopped green onions cheese and sometimes chopped bacon. A bit flour and one egg. Whip whip whip and scoop into searing hot pan with oil or lard. Press into patties. Cook u til golden brown. My dad would take two and go to work holding them eating away. It’s that good. Apparently it’s 1940s or 1950s American recipe

Left overs are my lunch for work the next day.

My mom does this, we didn’t have company for the holidays but still still made enough food to serve 18 people we’re 5 people

My mom would only cook an entire package of bacon at a time. Sometimes it felt like she was making us smoke a whole pack of cigarettes to make us hate them.

Tell me you aren’t required to cook 21 meals a week 52 weeks a year without saying you don’t cook 21 meals a week 52 weeks a year.
“Eeew, leftovers.”
