Every year, the following conversation occurs in my house….
Husband: What are we having for dinner tonight?
CEC: Leftovers.
Husband: I am so sick of leftovers.
CEC: Well, unless you want to make yourself some dinner, leftovers is where it’s at.
Husband: We’ve eaten the same Thanksgiving meal for the last four days. I am done with this
food after dinner tonight.
CEC: Well, that’s good since we’ve eaten through them all as of tonight.
Husband: If I never see a Thanksgiving leftover again in my life, I will be okay with it.
And this was the conversation that occurred this past Saturday…
Husband: What am I having for dinner tonight?
CEC: A turkey panini for you — I made it from Thanksgiving leftovers.
Husband: That sounds awesome — thanks.
CEC: Yeah, I figured I would switch it up instead of just giving you regular old leftovers every day
for a week.
Husband: Looks good — are those waffle prints on my panini?
CEC: Um, yeah — we don’t have a panini press, so I improvised with our waffle maker.
Husband: Whatever, I’m sure it tastes just the same.
A few minutes pass as the Husband and CEC eat their dinners.
Husband: Hey, did you bring home any of that broccoli?
CEC: What broccoli?
Husband: You know, your aunt’s broccoli casserole — did you bring any of that home? I really have a taste for some more broccoli.
CEC: You have got to be kidding me. I didn’t bring home any leftovers because you always complain about having to eat them.
Husband: Man, I wish I had some broccoli.
Moral of the story: Listening to your husband is optional.

Hahahahahaha I love this.
haha, love it! I do agree, we have the same sort of conversations in our house - recently is was over tuna casserole - Hubby “Why don’t you make that tuna casserole any more?” Me “You said you weren’t a fan…” Hubby ” I never said that I like it.” Me- “Okay I made it up.” Or the what do you want for supper question and 99% of the time - his response “Pizza”. Boys
ha! that conversation occurs in our house at least once a week… he is not a leftovers (of any kind) type of person. so funny.
My sisters are like the same way. “leftovers???”
and then they’ll eat it the next day if there are still more.
Love the waffle iron idea. Just got the reason I was looking for to NOT buy a panini press!
ha, you are too funny- and I love that you used the waffle iron! genius!
Bahaha! I need to try that with the waffle maker!
Ha! I love your marriage posts, they make me feel normal.
This was just the laugh I needed!! Ha! Thanks!!
nothing like a few leftovers to do a marriage good
Oh, most definitely. I think spouses often know each other better than they know their own selves. Did that make sense?? haha!
Ahahahhahahhhaa. Can’t WAIT to get married!
That is hysterical! I actually get so excited over leftovers. I bought a 2.5kg ham the other day at Aldi because it was so cheap. Yeah… there’s only two of us. We’ll be eating a lot of (deliberately) leftover ham this week! (And next, I suspect.)
Hahahaha yikes, I guess be happy he’s asking for broccoli? The bf told me “I made curried veggies. My body doesn’t like when I eat straight meat.” My heart soared.
HAHA so true!
Haha…optional.
dear chels, you make me so excited to marry one day.
haha! We had so many leftovers and I’m not the biggest fan of Thanksgiving food so I didn’t eat much of them, but by yesterday my husband was so sick of eating the leftovers I think he’s happy not to see the traditional foods for another year!
We always want what we can’t have right? But honestly, if I never see Thanksgiving leftovers again, I think that would be okay…
Hilarious! My husband and I had a similar conversation last week about Thanksgiving leftovers.
Haha this is hilarious!!
Aw! I love the moral of this story- amazing!
Haha…so funny and cute
This is hilarious. I think it is in the Y gene. I could eat them forever!
Hahaha men just can’t ever make up their minds!
LOL!
i turn 30 in two months, and i plan to steer clear of husband territory for the foreseeable future. i’ll live vicariously through your posts of fun.
had NO idea there were that many tales….your kids are going to love these!
Too funny. Love it!
And guys say girls are fickle? This post cracked me up. And great idea with the waffle iron.
This is classic! I can totally relate!
hahahah I love these kind of posts…2nd moral of the story: no matter how much you try, you can never win!
Best post i’ve read all day!
LOL! that sounds like my husband. Gotta love that. Just when we think we’re on top of our “wife” game. haha.
hah! I LOVE this. My husband wasn’t a fan of leftovers at first…his mom NEVER made leftovers…GASP! BUT he’s gotten used to them and even likes them, especially when I make something he really enjoys.
So funny!
i love this. i have so many similar convos w kyle. whats with these guys?
