The Next Meal
Prepare a base with two different dinners in mind
A shared base can save work without making two dinners feel identical.
A freezer label should answer a tired person's questions without requiring the container to be opened.
The amount left in a pan is not always the amount that will be useful next time.
A leftover's next use depends partly on the texture it still has.
A useful use-first list is short enough to influence tonight's dinner.
