How do you treat your leftover? [Cooking]

U.S. columnist Calvin Trillin has the following quotation:

"The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found."

I have a few chuckle out of it. I always asked my family to finish the leftover before eating the freshly cooked meal for the day.
