Question

Denise Tarasuk

I was told not to eat left-over mushrooms or spinach. I have avoided eating both if they are left over or not eaten the day they were cooked. What do you practice?

Answer

Rip Selten has a great video up today because it's all leftovers for his dinners on the porch. And mushrooms and spinach were leftover dinners. That's funny. I have avoided eating them if they are leftover or not eaten the day they were cooking. What do you practice? You know, uh, a lot of people who are plant-based save their leftovers and then they have a night where they record all they, they make all a leftover dinner. It's a wonderful, fun dinner. And again, go to uh, uh, Rick Selten's page today. He made pizza with his leftover vegetables and they looked absolutely, uh, absolutely delicious.
