A Road Runs Through These Order Sets

This article appears in the December 2012 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
Can a wiki share and standardize order sets? R. Dirk Stanley, MD, MPH, aims to find out.
"The fact that they're not standardized across the country leads to enormous costs and inefficiencies in healthcare," says Stanley, chief medical informatics officer at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton, Mass. "For example, if you have a doctor who's moonlighting, you know if you have a doctor from hospital A that you need to fill a shift in hospital B, if the doctor doesn't know what order set, kind of how the clinical functions operate, then it means you basically have to retrain the doctor on your clinical functions, but that's a lot of time and a lot of money."
Informally, order sets are finding their way from provider to provider through several routes today. Incoming residents are a source. Another is occasional informal exchange of order sets on the online forum run by the Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems.
Stanley recently began meeting with colleagues all along the Interstate 91 corridor in New England to help build a structure for sharing information.
"If you invent safety belts, is it really fair that you keep the patent for safety belts all to yourself?" Stanley says. "If you know you have something that can help improve care and improve safety and reduce costs, why wouldn't you share it with other people? I figure if I can share things with other people, then maybe they'll help share their lessons with me, and together we can actually reduce each others' operations costs and improve each others' safety."
Like the highway itself, Stanley's wiki-powered I-91 Informatics Group is a shared project that benefits everyone, Stanley says. Order sets are only one area of interest. Stanley sees it as a way to share protocols, documentation, policies, and procedures. "When a carpenter builds a house, there are standard tools that every carpenter knows how to use and maintain," he says. "I'm hoping that together we'll be able to write the book on how to manage the tools and make them better and make them more affordable and safer."
The consortium's barn-raising attitude is partly born in the high cost of purchasing order sets from companies such as Zynx and Provation, Stanley says. "Even when you get those canned products, you have to review; for example, do we have this drug in our formulary?" Stanley says. "In hospital A, they might use levofloxacin, and in hospital B they might use ciprofloxacin. If the standardized order set has levofloxacin, but you don't have that on your hospital formulary, then you have to fix the order set. Usually somebody still has to go through line by line to ensure the proper functioning and safety of every single order in the order set, and what you start to learn is, even when you get one of those canned solutions, it's still a lot of work."
Because EMR vendors are also offering their own order set suites, contractual restrictions and competitive considerations make efforts such as Stanley's an uphill battle. "Do you know how hard it is for me to call another health system and request their clinical content?" says Marc Chasin, MD, MMM, CPE, system vice president and chief medical information officer for St. Luke's Health System in Boise, Idaho. "When they've spent so much time and money developing their content, why would they give it away?" Thus, the sharing Stanley envisions may be a crowdsourcing and barn-raising strategy used by smaller providers to compete more effectively with their bigger rivals.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Natealie from Works for me The only problem I've had so far is finding a refillable K-Cup to fit it. You HAVE to make sure that when you're done brewing coffee you lift the lid- otherwise the needle gets jammed up from sitting in the coffee K-Cup. I bought refillable K-Cups to make my own little packages and just snapped the top off of them and replace it with aluminum foil and that seems to work fine. Cleans up easily and brews my coffee right everytime. Sorry to hear so many other people are having problems with it! It was a birthday gift from my mother-in-law and I use it daily! :)

Rated 1 out of 5 by Trish from Disappointed Bought for myself and disappointed. Sometime it brews the 10 ounces and some times it brew whatever it wants too. Thinking about returning and getting a different brand

Rated 2 out of 5 by mcdermott001 from NOT WORTH THE MONEY Machine works everytime, but it is not consistent with the coffee it dispenses. Sometimes a full cup and sometimes a half cup.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Annim05 from Disappointed in the product. I have had this model for about a year now and I am just not impressed with it. I do not like the choice of 6oz or 10oz. The coffee is either watered down or such a small cup that I have to use more than one k-cup. This was a replacement for a prior model that brewed 8oz at a time. Unfortunately that model was defective and this is what it was replaced with. I love the K-cup idea I am just not happy with this brew system.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy consumer from Don't buy unless you have unfiltered tap water I bought this coffee maker a year and a half ago. It has a setting for a 10oz and 6oz cup of coffee. The amount of coffee dispensed varies on either setting. Sometimes I get the full amount sometimes I don't. I spoke to a representative who told me I have to use unfiltered tap water. It did not disclose that on the box or in the owners manual. I have a whole house water filter so using unfiltered tap water is not an option for me. She gave me the option of purchasing a different model that uses filtered water. Thanks a lot... not looking to spend another $90 on a coffee maker that may or may not work!!!!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kc54321 from Not worth it! I bought this about 2 months ago and I only use it a few times a week so in all I have maybe used it about 15 times. Today it just stopped brewing all together. And when it did work it was loud and the cup sizes it brewed weren't consistent. Not satisfied at all with this machine :(

Rated 1 out of 5 by spb5 from doesn't work I received this coffee machine as a gift for christmas about 6 months ago and today it stopped working all together! for the past 3 months its been inconsistent with how much coffee it brews almost ever single time but now it doesn't brew at all! it sucked in the water and made the loud brewing noise it does but nothing came out. Now looking at the reviews i can't believe every other person is having the same problem

Rated 1 out of 5 by Audy from Not worth it I got this part of my wedding registry gifts and I have used it maybe not even a month and it now has stopped brewing any coffee... maybe 10 drops.. I am highly upset about this product. Especially going without coffee for couple days now!

Thursday, December 13–Saturday, December 15, 2012The East-West Center and the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA
Proposal deadline: February 15, 2012
For many design educators working in different parts of the world today, design practice is taking place in what may be called a transnational context. The boundaries that define the field of higher education have become increasingly fluid, and professors, students, programs, and curricula are moving back and forth between different regions of the world as never before. The design projects, research, and institutions that result retain a unique cultural complexity because they promote meanings and values that often transcend the cultures and boundaries of the nations within which they originate.Taking place at the East-West Center and the University of Hawai'i in Honolulu, "Geographics: AIGA Design Educators Conference"
will provide international design educators, scholars and practitioners the opportunity to share examples of design programs, research, and projects that have been implemented within a transnational context. Please mark your calendars and make reservations early to join us in Hawai'i.
This conference provides international design educators the
opportunity to present successful examples of such "transnational"
projects and programs—proposals are due February 15. Visit the conference website to download details on the Call for Proposals.
AIGA chapters fulfill AIGA's mission at the local level, supporting members through organizing projects and events to educate, inform and connect designers.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 16: Richard Gasquet of France plays a forehand in his men's final against Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus during day seven of the 2010 Medibank International at Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre on January 16, 2010 in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Cameron Spencer/Getty Images)
Second-seeded Richard Gasquet reached his first semifinal of the season with a 7-6 (1), 6-2 win Friday over Spanish qualifier Daniel Munoz de la Nava at the Estoril Open. The 18th-ranked Gasquet reached the 2007 final here before losing to current No. 1 Novak Djokovic on the Estoril clay. Kaia Kanepi has a chance to win her second WTA title after beating top-seeded Roberta Vinci 6-2, 7-5 to reach Saturday's women's final. The sixth-seeded Estonian, who won the Brisbane International in January, rallied after trailing 2-5 in the second set against the Italian, who won three titles last year. Kanepi will play Carla Suarez Navarro in the final, after the Spaniard beat Karin Knapp of Italy 6-4, 6-0.

Sleeping Arrangements for Unmarried Guests
By Peggy Post
Special Offers
QuestionYour husband's brother will soon be visiting and he's bringing his new girlfriend along. They want to share a room, but you feel that letting them do so would set a bad precedent for your teenagers. Would you...
1) Give your brother-in-law the number of a nearby hotel.
2) Let the couple know that they'll be assigned separate rooms and that there's no room for discussion.
3) Say nothing until the night they arrive, and then pull the girlfriend aside and appeal to her sense of propriety.
AnswerThe correct answer: It's your house, and you're entirely justified in enforcing your rules, so it's okay to insist that the couple sleep in separate rooms (2). You or ideally, your husband, since it's his brother should be polite but firm. There's no need to drag the girlfriend into this. Simply tell your brother-in-law that you don't want to send mixed messages to your kids, who are at the age when they notice everything. If he chafes, he can choose to stay elsewhere so have that hotel number handy, just in case.

Longboat Key officials, who anticipated a 10% to 12% drop in property values when they released the preliminary budget last month, confirmed a 10.5% drop in property values town-wide Monday, July 6.
The town's taxable values dropped approximately $621,409,263, marking the second time year-to-year taxable values have dropped on the island since 1988. Last year, the town's taxable values dropped $648,787,520.
Based on the town's current millage rate of 1.5 mills, the estimated tax-roll loss results in a budget revenue reduction of approximately $908,967.
The Town Commission will set its maximum millage rate at 7 p.m. tonight at the Town Commission regular meeting at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis has asked the commission to adopt the maximum millage rate of 1.6751 mills tonight while it continues its budget preparations.
St. Denis, however, does not anticipate presenting a budget with a millage rate that's higher than 1.5967 mills and will continue to erase the deficit to further lower the anticipated millage increase.
For more information on the commission's decision, visit www.YourObserver.com this evening for regular meeting updates and pick up a copy of the Thursday, July 9 Longboat Observer.

1. How long have you been crafting?
It feels like I have been crafting all my life. I cannot think of a time when I havent had a craft project going on. Most of the times though, I have several projects going on simultaneously.
Officially, I started scrapbooking and then cardmaking, after the birth of my baby girl in 2009.
2. Why did you start crafting?
I started scrapbooking because becoming a mother was such a precious experience, I wanted to treasure each and every moment. I love that these pages will one day become my little girl' history.
3. How long have you been on the Fiskars design team?
Since June 2011
4. What are your favorite craft activities?
I love paper, and any paper craft interests me.Right now I am addicted to scrapbooking. I love sewing as well, but find myself sewing paper more than fabric these days...
5. How do you define your crafting style/aesthetic?
I like things to be colorful. I like using bold earth tones. I like things to be simple and clean. I love adding details though, or a handwritten touch, anything to make my project personal.
6. What is your favorite time of day to craft?
I craft into the middle of the night. Though now that my craft room has two enormous windows and lots of sunshine, I love crafting during the day as well, but that totally depends on if the baby naps or not :)
7. What motivates/inspires you?
Inspiration seems to be everywhere; magazines, websites, blogs, textiles, nature. I am always jotting down thoughts and doodling ideas for a new project.
8. If you could only have one Fiskars® tool, what would it be and why?
I love all the Fiskars® Scissors- they are so precise and easy to use. I love their border punches as well! Choosing one is just too tough.

Ideas for creative use of pre-planned leftovers
Hi everyone,
Do you deliberately cook extra to in order to re-purpose it for subsequent meals ?
I've started doing this to save time but I am running out of inspiration, so I would love to know what others do.
I sometimes make a double batch of spag bol, put the extra in a baking dish, next night I make bechamel, pour half over the spag and top with cheese (sometimes I'll tuck in ricotta &/or a little frozen spinach first), the remaining bechamel with cheese melted in goes over that night's veggies. The third night the spag goes into the oven, and that's dinner done!
Roast lamb leg - leftovers used in a wrap with salad, tomatoes, hummus etc. Or made into a curry, often in the slowcooker and with chick-peas.
I make a double batch of stewed beef and onions in the pressure cooker, take out half when the meat's tender, and chuck potatoes and veggies into the pot for beef stew the first night. The stewed beef gets repurposed by adding
- chilli, canned beans, tomato paste = chilli
- fried onions, mushrooms &/or roasted capsicum, sour-cream = pasta sauce
- tomato paste, garlic, canned tomatoes = pasta sauce
- pastry = pies
- cooked carrots, peas (sometimes celery, turnip), covered with mashed potato, baked in oven = shepperds pie
I know it's not gourmet stuff, but in the mid-week rush all you want to do is get dinner on the table that everyone will enjoy! I would love other ideas - and thanks to The Dairy Queen for the inspiration to start this thread.
Great thread idea. I sometimes make a double batch of something, but not often. If I do, it has to immediately go into the downstairs freezer ... leftovers around here tend to go to my daughter and husband's lunches. But one idea is putting them into a frittata. I look forward to hearing of ways to use them that mean I don't have to hide things!
re: LulusMom
Thanks LulusMom! I'm not good at the freezer thing, my freezer's a bit like a black hole in space - things often get sucked in and only come out when they look tired and taste funny so it goes in the compost. And when I'm tired and rushing, defrosting something big is all too hard.
That's why I'm hoping for more ideas where, at the end of a long day, half the work is done, and the meal is fresh and easy, and if it's quick that's an added bonus.
re: G8trDoc
LOL G8trDoc, it's the left-over leftovers that you really have to worry about!
Another devotee of leg of lamb the first night and lamb curry the second.
I often do a larger pork loin than we need so there will be old pork sandwiches. On day three the last bit is minced along with a litte leftover flank or round steak for a Bolognese like sauce I love to make. We always make extra steamed broccoli or asparagus to snack on. Extra potatoes often end up in a torta, often enough I now plan on it.
re: tim irvine
I think one of the major problems I have is that I pretty much don't eat red meat, so there are never any roasts (aside from roast chicken). I imagine they give great amounts of leftovers. Seafood just doesn't have the same ... appeal a day or two later.
re: LulusMom
There are certain things I prefer not to eat leftover, seafood is one of them.
re: rasputina
Seafood is kind of ick reheated but if you can use it cold, it's not so bad. Poached salmon is good cold, leftover tuna and shrimp can be made into tuna/shrimp salad or just eaten over a bed of greens, etc.
re: biondanonima
The only way I use up leftover seafood is to make a fish/shrimp cake in the same way you'd make a crab cake.
I love this idea for a thread! I like to roast 2 chickens on weekends and then use the leftovers in pasta, enchiladas, quesadillas, quinoa hotdish (http://www.twincities.com/ci_11528141 ), chicken salad. But, I'd really love to be more creative with my chicken leftovers.
re: The Dairy Queen
We do this too, we always cook two chickens when we are making whole ones. So many wonderful things to make with them and the carcasses go immediately into the stock pot and the stock is canned the next day.
re: rasputina
You can the stock? As in waterbath or pressure can it? Very ambitious!
re: The Dairy Queen
Pressure can, it can't be safely water bath canned. It's actually easy to do.
I always cook twice as much rice as I need for dinner one night. In the next few days I use it to make fried rice (along with any leftover meat or fish). Or I just reheat it in the microwave to serve with stir fry or pulao or beans or whatever saucy thing I am in the mood for. Although it doesn't take that long to make rice, it certainly takes no longer to make 2 cups rather than 1 cup.
My husband adores hash, so if we have baked potatoes I always cook a few extra, then I can cut them up in a dice, fry them up in a skillet, and add whatever leftover protein I have like corned beef or roast beef or grilled salmon or chicken and make a meal. A few eggs if we are shy on leftover protein. I usually also bury whatever we have leftover in the way of vegies as well.
Can't have too much roast chicken. It can go in salad or hash or noodle casserole or rice casserole or tortilla casserole or a million other choices.
I also try to double any vegetable (which I tend to serve plain) to use in fritatta or casseroles.
The danger with cooking "extra" is to make sure it doesn't get eaten up by my husband the first night. He has a big appetite, especially for steamed vegetables, so I try to leave the planned leftovers in the kitchen so I really have them left!
re: dianne0712
I hear you. My husband raids the fridge for whatever there is. Forget planning on lunches for my daughter, let alone a second meal. It is very difficult, which is why I'm looking for tips.
re: LulusMom
Then cook more at one time. For it to truly work you have to make more than can be eaten in one or two midnight raids.
re: rasputina
Also, I'm realizing I need to tell my husband that I have plans for these particular chicken leftovers so he knows that he has to look to something else for his snacking...
re: The Dairy Queen
We settled on a simple signal for 'this is reserved': a rubber band. I re-use a lot of throwaway plastic containers for foods and I just wrap a rubber band around these after filling. Husband knows that those may be going to work with me, cooling before freezing, marinating, resting between recipe stages, sprouting/composting experiments, etc.
It only took one iteration of "Oh, my. That was homemade cat food, you know" before he learned the system.
re: DuchessNukem
Nice tip!
re: rasputina
You haven't seen my husband eat, for all that he's still slim. I onc esaw him eat an entire pot of spaghetti sauce with accompanying pasta piled high. He eats what is generally listed as serving 4-6 by himself. He's very expensive. I wasn't there, but apparently he also once ate an entire turkey by himself. Not even enough left for a sandwich.
re: LulusMom
Can you put Lulu's lunch together after dinner and have the carrier in the fridge? I'm picturing the sheepish embarrassment of a grown man caught at midnight with a My Little Pony (or modern equivalent) lunch box on his lap!
I've had good luck with a piece of masking tape inscribed "NO!" with a red sharpie placed on the container.
With another ex a modified menu posted on the fridge worked. I simply listed key ingredients reserved for upcoming meals. If they were devoured anyway then a dinner out was the price.
re: meatn3
I do do the thing of putting Lulu's lunch together, but I usually don't serve for lunch the next day what we had for dinner the night before (I'm a little OCD about things like this). Don't want her getting bored. It's the whole concept of having enough leftovers to make a full meal of that really seems to boggle my brain. Aside from large chicken thigh braises, I'm thinking that this whole business works a lot better with big cuts of meat - roast beef, ham, etc. which may be why it hasn't worked so well for me. I think I will just have to be vigilant and make double batches of stews, soups, etc. and immediately after dinner freeze them.
This afternoon is a perfect example. I made Lulu a turkey burger, making an extra one for her dinner when we have date night. He walks in the door and said "what smells so good, I could really go for that!" and when I mentioned what it was for, he sort of raised his eyebrows like a villain in a 20s movie and made as if to go after that spare burger. Fork prongs came into it on my side ... burger seems safe. For now. This all despite the fact that Lulu and I also spent the morning making strawberry cheesecake bars and having one waiting for him.
Love the NO! and the "that's the price of dinner" ideas, I must say.
re: meatn3
Sure the "My Little Pony" lunchbox should work...unless her husband is a Brony....
Seriously, I use duct tape to signify when leftovers have been repacked into lunch portions. Most of us like leftovers for lunch so more often than not, there are duct taped containers stacked in the fridge.
re: tcamp
Thanks to this thread, after plating the green bean and parmesan salad that went with dinner tonight I immediately stuck it in the fridge instead of leaving it out (a sure invitation to "go help yourselves to more"). Both of them were disappointed. I pointed out to Lulu that it meant she'd get it in her lunchbox, and this helped her a little, but there was definite cloud over the table.
re: LulusMom
Generally my DH's response is "Are you telling me I can't eat the food in my own refrigerator?"
I only do it with basics.
So I'll make a whole family pack of chicken breasts for example and just serve them roasted with side dishes the first night, sliced chicken or chicken salad for sandwiches next day, sir fry, tortilla soup, burritos, tacos. Basically do similar with pork shoulder or chuck roast except it's usually bbq beef or pulled pork sandwiches or burritos or tacos with the leftovers. Same with brisket, sandwiches of tacos.
I cook extra rice if I'm making stir fry and then have fried rice the next day. When we make tandoori chicken I have leftovers to put in curries or pilafs for extra flavor. Carnitas are made into tacos the next day.
For brisket, leg of lamb or chuck we portion out some before cooking and grind it to later use in meatballs, meatloaf or burgers.
We also just make dishes we like in large enough quantity to last a few days just to eat reheated and served the same as they were first made. Like goulash, chili or soups. I don't bulk make lasagne, enchiladas ect as I'm picky and prefer them freshly baked. Same with pasta dishes that are served hot.
Steaks are always oversized..sliced steak sandwiches or steak and mushroom pie the next day. Roasted potatoes for 3-4 when there is only 2 of us eating. Tomorrow's breakfast has them chopped finer and fried with onions and sometimes lil bit of meat.
Spag sauce and beef stew.........always extra to freeze and re-heat........usually better the 2nd time around
I always roast 2 small (3 lb) chickens instead of one. Same time/temp for the oven, twice the goods for same effort.
Pot pie, tarragon chicken salad, chinese chicken and eggplant salad. Also meat for future enchiladas and chicken soup, which can get popped into the freezer until I'm ready to employ.
Then I also have two carcasses to add to the "stock bag" in the freezer.
re: caviar_and_chitlins
caviar, how do you make the chinese chicken and eggplant salad? I have leftover chicken breast from a roaster, and several eggplants from my garden that need to be used up.
re: jmcarthur8
Yes! I'm quite interested too!
re: jmcarthur8
Hi! Sorry for the delay, I was off playing for the weekend! These are the proportions I use, I adjust up or down depending on what I've got:
Mix together: 1 Tbs soy sauce, 2 Tbs molasses, 2 tsp sesame oil, baste onto:
I whole chicken, about 4 lbs, and roast. I do the 475 for 15 min, then 375 until done.
1.5 lbs of eggplant, cut into 1/4 inch rounds, brushed with peanut oil, roast with the chicken for about 10 minutes.
Dressing: whiz this in your blender
1.5 Tbs ginger
3 cloves garlic
1 serrano pepper
1/4 cup rice vinegar
5 Tbs soy
1 Tbs sesame oil
3 Tbs peanut oil
Chop/pull the chicken into 1-2 inch pieces, combine with the eggplant, the dressing, top before service with 1 cup of loosely chopped cilantro, 6 chopped scallions, and 2 Tbs toasted sesame seeds.
1) Baked Ham dinner with mac & cheese or baked sweet potatoes and something green.
2) Ham bone stripped of meat, and boiled with aromatics and trimmings for stock
3) Cold ham sandwiches on rye for a few lunches.
4) Ham noodle casserole with the odd chunks.
5) Stock used for "Delicious Ham and Potato Soup", along with meat picked off the bone after simmering:
6) and finally, the best of the best - ham salad made with the bits and pieces at the end.
re: jmcarthur8
Ham salad?? Would you mind sharing how you make it? TIA!
re: CarrieSeas
Carrie, gladly!
Into the food processor, toss the chunks of ham (gristle trimmed out) and some chunks of onion. The proportions would be about 1/2 small onion for say, 3 cups of ham. Pulse to fairly fine chopped bits, but not too fine. You don't want to make a paste.
Next add some mayo (Duke's if possible), a teaspoon or so of Dijon mustard, one or two tablespoons of sweet pickle relish, and a couple good grinds of fresh pepper into the food processor. One or two quick pulses should do it, no more. If it needs more mixing, dump it into a bowl and mix there, instead of processing too much. The texture should be similar to tuna salad, but less wet.
Sometimes I add shredded sharp cheddar, but usually I just use the above ingredients.
Let the ham salad sit for a few hours or even overnight before serving in sandwiches or on Ritz crackers. The flavor really does mature as it sits. Do not take the entire bowl in front of the TV with you (and a sleeve of crackers) or you will find that there is none left for tomorrow's lunch.
re: jmcarthur8
That's just like mine. Soooo 50's
re: jmcarthur8
Thank you so much, jmcarthur8! This sounds really good; I especially like the Dijon mustard addition. I'll take your advice about not taking the bowl and crackers in while watching TV, lol. With the holidays just around the corner, your ham salad recipe will be a nice addition to our appetizer table, can't wait to try it!
Thanks again! :)
re: jmcarthur8
What a great idea!! Nothing like a leg of ham, but those raggy bits at the end always stumped me -always tastiest nearest the bone but difficult to serve appealingly, so thanks JM, I'm adding this one to the must try list.
Here are two. 1) You mentioned repurposing the roast leg of lamb. My English stepfather, born around 1900, said that in his childhood every Sunday they had a "roast joint" then on Monday night the same joint was returned to the table with the cut places (where meat had been eaten on Sunday) filled in with mashed potatoes and browned in the oven so that it looked like a new roast. Kind of clever; I've never tried it. 2) What I do a lot is make up a package of stuffing mix, adding sauteed onion and extra sage, cover it with leftover roast chicken, and pour a can of chicken gravy over all of it. Can be heated in oven then or frozen for future reference--this is a wonderful thing to find in the freezer.
re: Querencia
I'm not sure I have ever seen canned chicken gravy! What brand do you recommend?
re: laredo
It's all together on the same shelf, beef, chicken, turkey etc--comes in cans and jars---brands are Campbell's, Boston Market, Heinz---if I am going to use just part of it I like the jar because it refrigerates neatly. BTW in the coming Thanksgiving season canned gravies will be on sale---good time to stock up. Never as good as homemade but there is such a thing as convenience. Can also be used to extend leftover homemade gravy.
Gorgeous swordfish was a terrific deal at a local Market Basket this past week, and I bought more than my guests and I could possibly finish in our grilled fish tacos. Last night I made fish cakes from part of the leftovers with some sauteed celery, onion and garlic, an egg and some breadcrumbs and fresh thyme. A little panko on the outside and a quick fry to crisp them up. Tasty with a nice caper-dill mayo sauce on the side. I still have a sizeable piece left, so I think I'll make a tuna-like salad for sandwiches, maybe adding a little of the leftover dill sauce.
Of course, this worked because I managed miraculously not to overcook the fish like I usually do!
Next time I think I'll intentionally grill up a little extra for leftovers, even though I'm not usually a fan of cold seafood.
re: FriedClamFanatic
Thanks! I was out of lemon for the fish cakes last night and had to use red wine vinegar in the sauce. I'll pick up some lemons to perk it up.
re: FriedClamFanatic
I'm just one person....unless I'm entertaining....but I always grill extra fish. Sometimes I add it to salads or make a sandwich the next day, by my favorite leftover meal is fish tacos. Do it with swordfish, salmon, tuna.....whatever I have left. Always good.
For small amounts of leftover meats and veggies, I'll chop them up, add some type of cheese or sauce, and use a package of crescent roll dough (seal the seams) to make 'hot pockets'. Great for lunch and for using up the tiny amount that you always end up throwing away.
I'll also take the small amounts occasionally and scramble them with eggs for breakfast for DH - off limits for me, allergic to eggs.
re: The Dairy Queen
They generally work all the same to me - I use the pillsbury if they have it at the discount grocery, otherwise I have no problem with the cheap Aldi brand.
I usually sprinkle with sesame seeds to make them pretty. Occasionally I'll mix up an herb butter and brush it on when they come out of the oven.
re: miss_belle
My step father absolutely went crazy when his mother called things "planned-overs." So of course for fun we'd tell him that was what was for dinner.
I made this the other night with leftover pot roast and it was very good. The roast was cooked with onion, celery and tomato and I roughly pureed the vegetables and broth with a stick blender.
We ate about a third that night and froze the rest in two containers.
For the first leftover meal I reconstituted some dried wild mushrooms and sauteed them with a little onion and garlic. Added the thawed meat and sauce and heated through, served over wide egg noodles and put a dollop of sour cream on top. Kind of Stroganof like.
I roasted several vegetables at once to minimize running the oven in the heat; carrots, celery root, turnip, parsnips and potatoes. I froze them in a 2 quart freezer bag. So far, I added a handful to a soup. The roasted potatoes will be cut up further & added to a frittata.
We do quite a bit of roasting, braising and stewing, so yes 'leftovers' are always part of the plan.
Sunday's roast chicken becomes Monday's chicken sandwiches and Tuesday's chicken enhiladas, or pasta sauce, or pad thai, etc. Then on Wednesday the chicken gets stocked and some of the stock becomes risotto. The rest of the stock becomes the base of a lamb stew on Thursday, and that lamb meat gets sutffed into ravioli on Friday. On Saturday the extra sauce for the ravioli joins the last of the stew and becomes the braising liquid for pork shoulder, which is then going to be the meat for Sunday's tacos. And on and on.
So there's this kind of sequencing that we've developed, kind of like rolling a rock down a hill, if that makes sense. Less thinking of it as 'leftovers' and more like an essential ingredient in tomorrow's meals and beyond.
re: jonoropeza
How many of you are there? I can't imagine a roast chicken making up that many meals here.
I get bored/claustrophobic if I really 'meal plan,' but ingredients work well for me. Shredded meat can go on a quesadilla, taco, potato, etc, and cooked rice and noodles can always be thrown in a stir fry or heated up in sauce. If I make a batch of tomato sauce, I'll cook zucchini and beef in some of it another day. I usually saute a giant batch of garlic, too. Most people wouldn't dream of it, but it saves a lot of time as I like everything really well sauteed. I do try to wash and cut up produce all at once too.
I make big pots of a couple of grains on the weekends and then use them for pilfs and grain salads and soups all week. Ditto pots of beans.
Here's a link to another thread on repurposing leftovers that might be of interest http://www.chow.com/digest/111967/the...
I make a huge casserole. Well, I double what would normally fill a 9 x13 pyrex casserole dish. I think it goes in a 10 x 15. Then I put it in large single serving plastic containers. then when somebody wants one, they just grab one and nuke it. I just made one and put 7 containers in the fridge.
If I put it in a bigger container, someone (looks askance at adult son ... aka "garbage gut") would just eat it.
re: Hank Hanover
I have done that with moussaka, creating 12 portions to be wrapped individually in Saran, tucked into a sandwich bag, and frozen.
Hi Chookums, I thought you might be interested in this book "Cooking for the Week: Leisurely Weekend Cooking for Easy Weeknight Meals" I just posted about in Breadcrumb's Cookbook a Week Challenge thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8699...
Also, one of the authors wrote this article you might find interesting "Grill Once, Eat Twice, Double Duty Dinners" http://dianemorgancooks.com/?post_typ...
For me the question of whether a frozen leftover gets used is answered by whether I have frozen the item in an immediately usable form, eg ready to go into oven or microwave---so I set up my leftover or planned-overs that way. Examples: 1) Leftover poultry---make up stuffing, with plenty of onions and sage, lay chicken or turkey on top, pour over a jar of chicken gravy, freeze. 2) Sliced leftover beef in leftover gravy. 3) When I make meatloaf, make double and freeze half in a baking dish. Then the next time I make mashed potatoes, make extra and add a layer to the frozen meat, thus making a shepherd's pie ready to put in the oven. 4) Leftover pasta and sauce: layer in baking dish with ricotta beaten with an egg, to make Fake Lasagna.
When I have extra milk I make cheese sauce (make a white sauce with 1 stick butter to 1/2 cup flour and 4 cups milk then add a bag of shredded cheddar) and freeze it in 8-oz margarine tubs. It is great with leftover cooked broccoli or cabbage or makes almost instant potatoes au gratin with leftover potatoes. Can also be used for various hot broiled sandwiches. Versatile.
re: Querencia
Terrific ideas!
I inventoried and rearranged my freezer contents recently. I had a few containers of leftover cooked meats which I've repeatedly looked at and felt uninspired. The leftovers I have frozen in a ready to heat/eat form get rotated through regularly.
I (duh) had never really made the association as clearly has you have re: immediately useable forms! Thanks for helping me rethink things.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Dungy would deny Sam the opportunity he was given
Do unto others.
Well, just some others, says self-proclaimed Christian and former NFL coach turned TV analyst Tony Dungy.
Dungy says he wouldn't give Michael Sam the same opportunity Pittsburgh Steelers legend Chuck Noll gave a young, aspiring black coach back in the '80s when sidelines were patrolled by mostly-white coaching staffs.
Noll wasn't afraid of any backlash or inconvenience. He believed Dungy could be a good coach, so he hired him. Dungy went on to become the first black head coach to win the Super Bowl. A fair opportunity of which Dungy took full advantage to write one of the great American success stories. Dungy, however, were he still running an NFL organization, wouldn't extend a similar opportunity to the first openly gay player to be drafted to the NFL.
"I wouldn't have taken (Sam),'' said former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts coach Dungy. "Not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it.
"It's not going to be totally smooth...things will happen."
Good thing Branch Rickey didn't let similar consideration guide his decision when bringing Jackie Robinson to Major League Baseball.
Good thing Ralph Sazio didn't think the same way when giving Chuck Ealey an opportunity to play quarterback for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
And on and on and on.
Charles Barkley was right when he said, "I ain't no role model." Dungy, however, promotes himself as one. He stuck his neck out for dog-killer Michael Vick, first offering him guidance and later applying his blessing. Sam, however, doesn't qualify for any of Dungy's love. Wonder why.
What Dungy thinks about homosexuality doesn't matter. Dungy's comments, taken at face value, say he's just not interested in the hassle of coaching an openly gay player.
Although, knowing Dungy's history as a barrier breaker where his own career is concerned, one has to give consideration to the argument his comments come from a place other than not wanting to deal with the baggage that comes with drafting Sam.
Dungy's views, and he's on the record as being anti-gay marriage, are no different than mine or yours. They're neither right nor wrong; they're just ours.
But acting to prevent someone from pursuing a dream, and in this case gainful employment, because of their race, creed or sexual orientation has been determined unlawful by our society.
Thankfully, the St. Louis Rams don't see Sam as a human being unworthy of any added inconvenience.
"If you're going to take a leadership position by drafting Michael, you have to expect the good and the bad,'' said Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff. "We're prepared for it, and I think we'll shine through it."
Frankly, they already have. Dungy? Not so much.
One has to think, if asked about the difficulties associated with hiring black coaches in the era he came up in, Dungy would side with dealing with whatever came down the pipe.
Gay linebacker? Uh, no thanks, says Dungy.
We're all minorities of some sort. We should all be given chances to chase dreams. We should all have leaders such as Noll, Rickey and Demoff there to support our cause.
Dungy knows this. He's lived this. He's supposed to be a man of love. But it feels and sounds an awful lot like hate got the better of him on this day.

Man found dead at Terrytown bar
Updated On: Feb 04 2014 01:57:52 AM CST
A man was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at Gerry's Place bar Monday night at 1096 Behrman Highway, officials said.
A SWAT team responded to a report of gunshots around 5:30 p.m., according to Sheriff Newell Normand.
"SWAT team members entered the room and discovered the body of a white male suffering from a single gunshot wound believed to be self-inflicted. The victim was pronounced dead on the scene," said Col. John Fortunato of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Department.
Employees told investigators a man was in the room where the shots came from. A negotiator attempted to talk to the person in the room.

There's a moment in this just-released short film—featuring David Hallberg, that prince of princes—that really resonates. He grabs his left knee, then right, then right ankle, then left, with a kind of testing touch to make sure that everything is responsive. It's a nod to a dancer's relationship with his or her body, that all-powerful instrument that sometimes—often—can fail. Hallberg himself recently returned to the stage after being sidelined with ankle injuries for nearly a year. (He's dancing beautifully, by the way, and performing two Romeo and Juliets this week—with Polina Semionova tonight and Natalia Osipova on Friday.)
Back to "Hallberg at Work." Made by NOWNESS (a lifestyle website that's owned by fashion house LVMH), the film was shot at American Ballet Theatre's studios at 890 Broadway and the choreography is by none other than fellow ABT principal (and DM favorite) Marcelo Gomes. We're not sure that the title really reflects what's going on here (we're pretty sure that Hallberg, at work, doesn't get to be so solitary and serene—or climb on the barre) but the footage does capture his introspective spirit and, when it can tear itself away from his face, his gorgeous line. (To see more of those famous legs and feet, check out Dance Magazine's behind-the-scenes video of his June 2012 cover shoot.)

NOWNESS' dance films are a lovely mix of movement and fashion. See New York City Ballet's Janie Taylor (choreography by Justin Peck) here, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet's Craig Black (choreography by Benjamin Millepied) here, and Lil Buck here.
