The side dish we had with Stephen Pyles' Smoked Chicken.

  1. Recipe is for 8 servings. There are only two of you - most of the time - or so I understand.

    So...do you cook about 3 times a week, or ...

    what the heck do you do with your leftovers?

    1. Right. There are 2-3 of us, depending on C. We cook every night, with some exceptions of course. MBF packs his lunch of leftovers & I eat leftovers for lunch. We *used* to cook enough so that the left over leftovers became "Suzy food." Dog food was just a vehicle for Suzy food-- and we are convinced that's why she lived to 17+.

      This & many other recipes are halved. Half the recipe is usually still enough for lunch with a little left over to split between Rocky & Missy-- not as much as Suzy food, though.

      And yes. Sometimes MBF makes a full recipe and we freeze 1/2. That comes in handy! Gumbo is a good example. That we'd freeze in portion sizes to feed 4-8 as a little gumbo starter when we have company.
