Leftovers

My refrigerator looks rather forlorn now: half a jar of mustard, a spoonful of mayonnaise, leftover rice; a little of this, a little of that.

We’re all in the same boat – trying to make the best of leftovers and piecing together meals before Passover.

But this year I won’t complain about leftovers. I have a new appreciation of my own leftovers when my son told me what the IDF is doing with theirs: The Israeli army is frying up their leftover “loof” – the kosher version of Spam that’s provided to soldiers in the field, and serving it instead of the usual schnitzel. Evidently, loof is not kosher-for-Pesach, and the army is trying to use it up before the holiday.

Yum!
