As my husband puts it, today was my last day of work of the year. Advertising agency life is pretty good from that perspective - most agencies close between Christmas Eve Day and New Years Day, providing a wonderful long break from the real world.This year vacation mode set it instantly and as I left the office and headed for the bus home, I thought to myself, "Cook dinner??? No way!!"
The fact is, we had a ton of leftovers in the fridge from Sunday night and from last night's Hanukkah feast so cooking wasn't necessary anyway. I opted to create a potpourri of leftover side dishes and pair them with a can of Trader Joe's Italian Wedding soup. Meanwhile, my husband did some good work on last night's leftover brisket.
I know some people don't care for leftovers, but I'm a big fan of them. It's absolutely wonderful to have a home cooked meal without actually doing any cooking that day. And with Christmas right around the corner, I need to save all of my cooking strength!
