Repurposing Leftovers

[Deschet]

As we begin going out to eat again, we’re now accumulating leftovers. Well… I guess I am, at the very least. The only problem is, I’m not a big fan. But, I’ve been challenging myself to find creative ways to get more life out of shit I’m more than likely to throw out or let go to waste.

I’ll get the ball rolling. Carnitas and Waffles.

Because, why not? The smoked, pulled pork sandwich I got last night could have fed a Somali village for a week. Pretty sure I took half home, minus the bun. Because buns have a half life.

Just flash fried the pork in bacon fat — crumbled up bacon in the waffles, because bacon — and that’s basically carnitas. And, it worked great with the waffles and cinnamon Reaper maple syrup… which is also easy to make.

You lost me at "begin going out to eat again".

Right? The pandemic isn't over. Fucking cringe.

I was thinking more like “we haven’t been going out”?

Right? The pandemic isn't over. Fucking cringe.

Restaurants here are returning to normal. Then again, most people here are vaccinated. That helps.

I’m not sure what he meant.

Just went out to a concert last night - 5 people wore masks. After the concert ended - people were filing out without social distancing. Covid is over.

I will have to now wait 5 days to see if I picked up anything.

Here is what I meant:

Idaho was locked down for all of about 2 weeks in 2020. Washington locked back down for a few weeks at the end of 2020 but the only restrictions I have seen since about the beginning of 2021 are because of understaffing. Seattle businesses were still mask Nazis in April 2021 but most everything was open.
