We get it now. The fact that Halloween has become a socially acceptable excuse for women (and some men) to dress as provocatively as possible without getting arrested isn't some sad commentary on modern society. No, it's much more than that.

10 Cats Stuck in Things
Cats are funny little creatures. Some like dressing up in reindeer antlers while others bask in the grumpy glory of fame. It doesn't matter what kind of feline we come across-- we're always big fans of the furballs. However, there is one type of kitty that tops our list of favorites: the kind that gets stuck in things.

As unrepressed, unapologetic propellerheads, anytime someone takes two of our favorite things – cars and gizmos – and hacks them together, we take note. So when SparkFun's Nate decided he finally needed to get rid of the last key in his pocket, he took it upon himself to create a DIY solution.
Using an iPod dongle, a Nike+ shoe sensor, an Arduino Pro Mini (an open-source circuit board/software combo for electronic tinkerers), and far too many hours in the basement, he was able to create a key fob (or iFob, as Nate calls it) to unlock the doors on his Mazda3. Reading over his tutorial, the process isn't too complex, but it's not for the faint of heart, either. The only thing left for Nate to do is nix the ignition key entirely, so the next step is to install a push-button starter.

What's the rule in your house regarding restaurant leftovers?
- PaulF Jan 9, 2007 11:54 PM
I have a fifteen year old son, who left to his own devices, will consume everything in our refrigerator. He's 5-7, 135 but has the metabolism of a hummingbird.
And he likes leftovers.
My wife and my younger son like to bring leftovers home from a restaurant. And they don't like it when "their" leftovers are eaten before they wake up in the morning or before they've come home from school or work.
Personally, I always seem to order just the right amount, because I never or rarely seem to have any leftovers.
But, whose leftovers are they really?
In my childhood home, leftovers were fair game. I think they were anyway.
The theory (I think) was this:
Anyone could order more than they could eat just so they could have something they want to eat the next day. I distinctly remember ordering two quarter pounders when I was like 10, saving one for the next day, then having my mom tell me I had to share it with my brother. She felt that he could just have easily ordered a sandwich he wasn't going to eat to save for the next day. That he ordered the right amount for his dinner, didn't mean he shouldn't have half a quarter pounder the next day (I guess that would ba an eighth pounder.)
My wife thinks that leftovers belong to the leaver. At least for a day. In other words, you bring home leftovers, you get 24 hours to eat them. After that, they are community leftovers.
That's the way we do things in theory, she is the boss after all, but hungry 15 year old son has the impulse control of a tiger shark and often violates the unwritten rules. This leads to conversations that begin with "Who ate my lasagna? and and with someone's bleeding and me having to take away someone's guitar for a couple of days. Or with something broken.
How do you handle the leftover question? When to "my leftovers" become "anyone's leftovers?"
I agree with your wife. If it was on your plate, and you bring it home, they are your leftovers. :)
re: ESNY
My kind of man! :-) That's pretty much the general rule in our household and I'm sure my husband would tell you the same!
He's still pissed at his mom for eating a piece of peanut butter cheesecake that I left him in the fridge while he was napping, oh, about three years ago! It was clearly not meant for her- piece of cheesecake in a styrofoam container with napkin and fork neatly placed on top.
leftovers are for the original "owner" unless specified. I look forward to my second acts and would be very disappointed if they had disappeared during the night.
That was the general rule growing up too - I just, after 20 years (over drinks :-)), "admitted" to a family member being the one to sneak her hallowed leftover gingerbread cookie (and she immediately remembered the incident!)- we all got a good laugh!
You make me happy to be alive! You've succinctly posed a seemingly simple question that reflects the existential queries of our times.
Why didn't your brother order an extra quarter pounder (or two) when you were ten? Was it lack of information, perhaps information that you withheld from him? Was it his altruism? Belief that you would share the next day?
Same with your younger son. Is he trying to be like you? Doesn't he know that his brother (your older son) operates on a zero-sum game?
Are you unwittingly or wittingly re-creating between your sons what happened between you and your brother?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Sorry!
Leftovers belong to the person who ordered them! In my family your little brother would have been punished for not planning out his own future meal. Okay, probably not. Mom was all about sharing, but she would have chastised us to order more next time if we were all going to fight over the burger the next day.
Then again, we're Chinese, so food is usually family style and leftovers belonged to whoever got to them first. Food that one person brings home from a restaurant is definitely off limits, though.
re: Pei
"Then again, we're Chinese, so food is usually family style and leftovers belonged to whoever got to them first." We're not Chinese, but our leftovers usually are, and they're usually brought home from a meal with the extended family or friends, which muddies the issue. Mrs. O is most often the one who paid our part of the tab, but I'm the one who eats lunch at home during the week. If I have alternatives and/or if she has requested that I save something for her, I'll let the stuff sit for a day or two. Otherwise, and especially if it's two spoons of this and a dab of that (since unlike her I'll quite happily throw everything in one bowl and nuke it), I have no compunctions about taking it.
In our house leftovers belong to whoever finds them first. This mine/yours business is alien to me. I wouldn't touch my roommate's food but family is different. That said if this is going to cause major strife, perhaps you could designate a "no-touch" area where people can leave foods unmolested. or maybe you can leave a lot of other (cheap) food as bait for the ravenous teen boy so he eats that instead.
re: mnosyne
omg... LOL that is EXACTLY what my daughter does! She also puts her name on the leftover box with a skull and crossbones!
Maybe I'm lucky ... no one in my home can stand anything another person orders. So we're safe.
Except my older son won't even eat leftovers HE has ordered.
As for delivery pizza ... it's fair game for anybody, and such a temptation to order more than we can eat (when there's a good "twofer" deal) so we can have some for tomorrow - so I have to order one that everyone else dislikes.
re: wayne keyser
I agree about pizza, fair game. Chinese food and everything else is the property of the orderer/original eater.
Mrs. O and I generally agree that leftovers belong to whomever dragged them home, but unless there's a meal's worth of something fabulous and enough for two, I usually wind up with them, just because I'm more interested in "real food" at lunchtime than she is, and that's when this stuff typically gets eaten around here. In fact, when she's working she often brings home half of whatever she got for lunch just for me: half a chicken quesadilla, half an order of roast chicken and pita and hummous, three slices of pizza. I wouldn't dream of discouraging her...
re: Will Owen
Ha! Just noticed that this was an old thread. Okay, sure sign of age, the old guy's repeating himself... talk about leftovers!
How different cultures think about leftovers! Years ago in Greece my friend and I took home our respective pizza leftovers. 'Personal' pizzas, at least 14' in diameter, not too personal, really, wouldn't you say? Yet savoir vivre dictated that you either eat your own pizza - no shared plates in that kind of a restaurant (not a 'pizza parlor, clearly, but a posh italian restaurant) or you just politely... leave the leftover. In my case, that leftover wasn't much to speak of. But my friend's pizza was almost untouched.
My sister couldn't believe we asked for 'doggy bags'. 'What are you going to do with the leftover pizza'? -- She actually, truly, wondered. It had never happened to her before, since it was a faux pas at the time to take leftovers home. We said we were going to have it for breakfast.
Next morning, as indeed we were warming the pizza in the toaster oven, my sister called to verify we were having it for breakfast....
To this day, many years later, she cannot fathom leftovers the next day. Then again, she doesn't have leftovers. She makes sure she orders as little as she would eat. This is actually possible in Europe, where the portions are at most 2/3 of the US ones - most often really less than half of our portions.
BTW - we doggy bagged HER pizza too that day. She was just going to let it go to waste. It was great for breakfast, as I recall.
Leftovers supposed to belong to whoever ordered the food. 'Supposed' because that's my friends made up rule. I hardly ever have leftovers, but I am the one claiming it all. Hence the 'rule'. Said rule got appended to 'after 24hrs leftovers fair game' (i.e., I can eat them). The rule had to be appended after many many petrie dish experiments, many many uneaten greenish moldy food 'things' - uneaten leftovers fallen into oblivion were poisoning the air in our refrigerator...
My best friend in Spain is an excellent cook and being a full time mother and wife, she cooks two different meals a day, aside from breakfast and mid-day snack (and we are not talking bread-cheese-ham here, we are talking a full course of tapas for mid-day snack, different items daily).
Her two men, husband and son, spoilt to the hilt, will not have the same food for a second meal. This means, if there is any food leftover, she is the only one who would go near it the next day, or even at the next meal. She can't even 'incorporate' any leftover food to the next meal...
When I visit she freezes the leftovers of the entire time I am there and packs them for me for the plane home. I have solicited numerous jealous looks and comments on the flights with my great smelling and looking food next to the poor choice called airplane food.
re: mimika
I used to work in a Thai restaurant in the UK.
The food was wonderful and served on family style platters. (and more than enough food for even the hungriest of diners)
The English NEVER asked for the leftovers...never.
This was great for us staff because we would eat off done platters all night long!!!!!...(Sounds gross but the food was untouched because diners put the food on their own plates)
AHHH what a job!!!
(I learned how to cook a darn good curry while I worked there too!
Oh and taught the head chef how to cook a good Bolognese sauce!)
Whenever we had Americans come in - Someone on the staff would inevitably say : "You watch - I bet they ask to take home the leftover food!" - and sure enough if always happened!
Hmmm...In our house the High Judicial Seat ( = Mom, = me) declares that everything in the fridge/cupboards is free-game, unless it has been designated for some use within the next week.(The High Judicial Seat lets everyone know.) Leftovers (takeout or otherwise) sometimes get *leftover* because each person thinks someone *else* wants it. Result: wasted food. If anyone in our home really, really, really, REALLY wants the take-out box, that person can write their name with a Sharpie on the box. Otherwise, it's up for grabs.
We do this more with home-made leftovers than takeout, actually.
Oh, and we do it with a 6 foot 4 inch, 220 lb. college freshman(also a leftover fiend). It's scary, but we manage. Tell your household to mark their territories, and mark them well. Communication.
re: cayjohan
That's what we used to do at our house. Except putting your name on the box was not enough, you had to also write, 'Please do not eat' and make sure that was punctuated with a smiley face! :o) otherwise, the other family member would just say, 'hey, thanks for leaving those leftovers in the fridge, they were great!'
In our home, after everyone has had a chance to taste/have their portion of the original dish, it's fair game.
In our house, the entire fridge, freezer, and pantry are "fair game," including leftovers.
That said, if you want to reserve something for yourself, all you have to do is tape a note to it: "mine" "Steve's" "poison" etc.
The resto leftovers stay at the resto. We either eat it there or leave it there. There is a rare time when there is anything worthwhile to bring home. If there are constant leftovers then you are misordering, or overordering and wasting money. Just order what you want to eat, eat it, or leave it.
You are training your kids to overorder and therefore take advantage of the eat-out syndrome. If Johnnie is ordering an extra Big Mac or a 32-oz steak just to take it home for the next day, you need to train him not to spend extra money.
If they want to spend your money, then it's not their's but is fair game for anyone. If the are real kids, they'll stop this altruism pretty quick. "I'm not carrying that burger just so someone else can eat it." (BTW, watch where they take the bag if the fridge is communal, bugs in the bed are nasty).
On the occassion we have leftovers (usually from pizza and chinese take-out) it's communal since the meal was communal. I have wondered to the fridge mid-day on the day after and stared at an empty box of Gen Tsao, a frown crosses my face. :-((. Too many other MAJOR issues to worry about raising kids.
Oh well, it's just food and i hope someone liked it. :-))
re: jfood
"If there are constant leftovers then you are misordering, or overordering and wasting money. Just order what you want to eat, eat it, or leave it."
That is some twisty logic! I say food ordered and left is wasting money, but extra food taken home for a second meal or snack is frugal. Restaurant portions are often inherently "supersized," especially for the very young and old.
re: The Engineer
OK so I was a little aggressive and given the early hour I was a lot less than clear.
Let's break into two areas. My mother, for example, goes out and takes the leftovers home with her and eats them for days. Very thrifty for 80. Taking leftovers for this reason is a great idea and is not in the misorder, et. al. comment of mine earlier.
On the other side of the coin is the example in the OP in which children overorder or misorder in hopes of scarfing another take-out meal on their folks. This behavior should be worked on so that the kids understand the value of a dollar. If they are allowed to perpetuate the meal over the next 24 hours, that's a bad behavior pattern and falls into my misorder comment.
The grey area in between is where we get a little slippery and whether it's a misorder or a result of super sizing depends on the circumstances. We could probably both construct a 100 different sets of circumstances where we agree on 80 and disagree on 20 on whether it is frugal or wasteful.
re: JaneRI
Seriously. I'd loose it. Maybe I'm an unusual case because my very favorite, dream-about-it restaurant serves ungodly huge portions. (This restaurant evolved from a hole in the wall run by one Puerto Rican guy and catering mainly to a young, artsy, hippy crowd who mostly needed the food.) I would BURST if I ate more than half my entree. It goes home with me, and God help my husband if he touches it.
re: JaneRI
HA HA HA! Yes. I nearly became an only child several times due to my brother's "(someone else's) dinner for breakfast" style of eating.
re: BrunchOrBust
JaneRI, my sentiments exactly!
I adore leftovers and if I can't finish a good meal I'll ask for a to go bag and have it later. I'LL have it later.
In our house we each have eminent domain over our leftovers, with one caveat. Young son won't eat anything that's more than a day or two old, and I know that we have a rockin' awesome fridge that will keep it another day, so if it's teetering on 48 hours old, I will scarf it down and not apologize. Watched that boy let too many fabulous leftover dishes go south to let that happen on my watch for the most part. I'm a pretty good cook, but i've cooked enough for long enough so that sometimes the best thing in the fridge is the one I didn't make and therefore may taste new and exciting.
Of course, I don't go leftover grabbing if it's clear that my hosts don't normally bring home things. And there was my uncle Walt. He'd make sure we had the best ribeyes or lamb chops his southeast Illinois country club had to offer, but Shep (the dog) got the leftovers. I didn't take him seriously at first but soon learned to- he tallied up what Shep got after we got home. BTW- Shep was an awesome dog and never begrudged anybody anything. Stray border collie pup, picked up on the golf course of said country club, landed in heaven (many folks said if there was an afterlife they'd want to come back as Walt's dog) and was a really, really good unspoiled (somehow) dog his whole life. I don't blame Shep, but I missed a sh!tload of awsome steak and lamb chop leftovers that I couldn't eat that night... wish I could do it again, Aunt Gin and Uncle Walt have both been dead a long time and they were as much or more fun than you'd think a small-rich-southern-Illinois- bunch could be. And then some.
re: Moonpie
This is how our household works also. And after day 1, they become fair game.
Bring home food?
An individuals food is rather quite personal in my upbringing, and is off limits to anyone else, with the ultimate respect it deserves.
It is a big deal with an individuals - family rushed lifestyle. I sometimes get "stalled" right middle of eating something. Somehow my body was in a rejection mode and I wasn't enjoying it. I will save it for later or when I can better enjoy it. Please, I need that food to complete the cycle to make me feel whole again.
Another way to put it, whatever the family cooks up is fine, and is to be shared. I bring something home, that's my road kill, my opossum.
See the point?
whoever reaches the fridge first!
If I don't eat them for hubby or cousin the leftovers will lurk in the fridge until they're growing fuzz and I'm annoyed :D So get your backside out of bed and make like you're going to enjoy them (getting a bowl of cereal or a box of crackers doesn't count!) and I won't interfere. Otherwise, DIBS!
Communal meal= fair game (usually still mine because I eat anything for breakfast)
I'm one of those who thinks about how it will be as a left over when ordering a main course. I have even been known to order 3 dessers just so I can take two home. I will purposely order my steak rare so that when I heat it up for breakfast/lunch the next day it won't be over cooked. I love eating at the Prime Rib because from that one dinner I am able to squeeze out breakfast and lunch the next day. My family knows better than to touch my left overs without permission.
My SIL's family is the complete opposite so my bro and his wife constantly argue over leftovers. In that household not even writing your name on the food is enough protection.
They are mine unless I tell others they are fair game..but if I had kids at home, who didn't go out with us, I'd happily share with them.
There was an absolutely hysterical story on Good Food (KCRW, Saturday Mornings) this past weekend, which was an interview with mother/author Georgia Orcutt on her cookbook titled "How to Feed a Teenage Boy." Your description of your son as a "tiger shark" brought this story to mind :-)
Here's a link if you want to check it out. It's the last story in the hour-long program.
Here's a link to Ms. Orcutt's new cookbook:
In our household, leftovers belong to whoever's meal it originally was, but after about two or three days, they become fair game for anybody. Not that we ever formally established a rule...that's just the way it tends to work.
The reality is that if the leftovers were that good, the original owner would typically eat them pretty quickly...so anything in the fridge after two days was probably not going to be eaten by him/her, anyway...so they usually become Dad's (my) lunch.
In our home, leftovers from family style / banquet type dinners are pretty much fair game - whoever wants can take, and usually folks are considerate enough to only take a portion so others can also have some. Otherwise, the leftovers belong to each individual (respectively). If an owner of leftovers relinquishes ownership of his/her leftovers (either expressed or implied thru non-consumption over a few days) it also becomes fair game. Often, Mom will come home from lunching w/ coworkers toting leftovers -- half of whatever she'd ordered, as a treat to split with the rest of the family; so we know that just because food is packed as "leftovers" doesn't mean there is no intentional plan for its consumption.
We also have a leftover/food thief in our family... only he's called Dad. Fortunately, Dad usually eats what he sees in front of him (stuff in plain view) and does not go digging around much for other stuff. So our solution is to always have basic snack stuff as well as the not-too-treasured food items in plain view while hiding the good stuff.
For me and my wife, ALL leftovers are communal. This does not mean they're fair game, it means the expectation is that they will be shared, unless one of us explicitly declines.
Your question is less about leftovers and more about how to get your son to follow "house rules".
If he wasn't violating the "leftover rule", it would be another. Deal with the rule issue and nevermind about which rule it is over.
>>> And he likes leftovers. <<<
Geez, PaulF. I totally missed the implications of that line.
Like, can he cook for himself or wants to eat something convenient?
You see, when I left home my dad told me a situation where my one brother went through a food raid phase. Dad caught him nibbling on the other brother's and sis's food bags.
Dad gave him a crash cooking course and then started him out with a good cookbook. Well, needless to say the dogie bags dwindled, because eating out soon was getting replaced by home cooking. Before long they started picking nights when they took turns cooking.
My short answer is leftovers don't last more than 24 hours in our house...e.g. last nights restaurant chicken breast
is today's chicken salad sandwich lunch.
We're hungry hounds, what can I say?
Beyond that, we have two golden rules in our house:
1) When in doubt (about leftovers, the last Coke, the last slice of cake) ASK first before scarfing
2) If asked to share, do so smilingly
These were handed down by my mom who would employ the dreaded Stare of Death if we were rude about food. By the way, The Stare of Death is a great tool when teaching manners.
re: thegolferbitch
YES! One of my most vivid memories of being punished as a child was over my (attempted) refusal to let a young guest have first dibs on the ice cream treat selection. (I can still picture the cup of green sherbert I did NOT want)
I think i got a spanking for that one (+ the threat of no more playdates which was nightmarish to an only child), however normally the Stare of Death was all it took. My mother also had an advanced weapon, the Two-fingered Wrist Pinch of Death, a firm pressure on either side of my forearm, about an inch above the spot where she had me convinced that my pulse would stop beating if I didn't cease some behavior immediately.
It depends. We rarely order separate dishes - we prefer sharing, which could complicate the leftovers deal. But we have this tacit rule that since I'm vegetarian, I get first dibs on the veggie/tofu dishes.
When we do each order our own, everyone keeps their own leftovers. At least, unless someone asks you for them and you agree to share or hand them over.
To my mind, leftovers belong to the original orderer. They belong to that person expressly for at least the next whole day. After that time, one may inquire as to the original orderer's intentions (and abide by them).
AND, if I was the original orderer and REALLY wanted my leftovers to stay safe, I would mark them with my name, skull & crossbones, etc. Perhaps even a note stating that anyone who scarfs them will have to replace them.
re: ajs228
thanks ... yeah, I know it's not his fault -- I actually find it sort of funny when I'm refereeing another "who ate my leftover bhindi masala" match.
The kid plays football and baseball in high school. He burns fuel like the Apollo 11.
Truthfully, I'm thankful he's a good eater. He very, very rarely eats fast food and isn't that into sweets and dessert. He's just a leftover guy ...
Wife insists on reheating leftover pizza, while the kids and I say NOOOOOOO! Leftover pizza, like leftover fried chicken and low mein is always best cold and makes for a most excellent breakfast. Seems like everything else we bring home ends up sitting in the fridge for a week and then gets tossed - unless there's a good piece of steak or pork that can be recycled into a new dish.
I never, ever eat leftovers. When I bring anything home from a restaurant it is always for other people to eat.
In our house (just me and my husband) any leftovers belong to the original owner, if separate restaurant dish leftovers are brought home. We never argue about this. In practicality I mostly end up with it because I'm usually home at lunchtime and he's not and I can never persuade him to bring "his" leftovers to the office. That's assuming I like what he ordered which is not always so. OTOH I tend to have a smaller appetite and he is a member of the clean plate club so the leftovers are more often "mine."
With leftover steak or some other big piece of meat, I won't bring it home unless he wants it, because he will eat it cold and I won't and reheating tends to overcook it. Plus the congealed fat makes me lose my appetite.
I'm actually surprised that it's so easy because I grew up with an immature jerk of a stepfather who was very territorial about food. My brother and I used to get punished if we ate "his" food and good luck knowing exactly which that was. Just another excuse to torture us and create conflict where there didn't need to be any - or more precisely, exert power.
Oh this is wonderful! Three sons and a husband are you kidding me! It's finders keepers at this house, and they usually never make it 24hours. Funny... I could of swore I brought home leftovers...I have been known to hide things in the vegetable drawer, they're on to me now though...
My husband's restaurant leftovers are his, and my restaurant leftovers are also his. But he ALWAYS asks first. Always. Home-cooked leftovers are anybody's, but perferably his as well, and if they don't get eaten and have to be tossed, it's his fault.
If I bring home leftovers,ill eat my leftovers.I dont want old slobber from someone else,unless its my moms slobber,that I can handle.I could see if it was your wife and you asked her if it was ok to eat.
Generally, I have to say, if a left over is in the fridge, it can be eatten unless specially marked "please don't eat me." Then again, its food so I'd rather it be eatten than spoiled.
Most of our eat-out meals are chinese of one form or another. In that case, everyone gets a share but honestly, nothing lasts too long. I confess that at dim sum, we gleefully order like pigs, knowing all the leftovers will come home and we will eat them for dinner or I will stuff it all into the pups lunch boxes the next day.
In the future, I am sure to have your situation. My son is just 9 and about 5 foot or a little less. He inhales food and is permanently hungry. But honestly, even if it was a "special" leftover, I'd still rather he eat it than it gets pushed to the back and forgotten.
That said, I know a guy who left a piece of chocolate cake [an uneatten dessert from dinner] in his fridge on the day the cleaning lady came. And she ate it. Of course, all day at work, he was dreaming of his chocolate cake only to find NADA when he gets home. He was livid. I didn't get it. You want cake, go buy cake.
I've lived in three situations where the leftover rules might be different: 1) With my family (including teenage younger brother and my dad, who was the "tiger shark"), 2) with a boyfriend, and 3) with a roommate.
I almost always get leftovers at a restaurant... I just can never eat everything! Even with that, I'm pretty notorious for being bad about eating them... I either forget about them or don't want them (my theory, though, is that if the food's going to get thrown away, I might as well bring it home where it will have a chance to get eaten).
But even in all three situations, my personal preference is: communal-style meals belong to everyone (this includes leftovers made at home, even if not all the family members ate the meal). If each person ordered a personal dish, those leftovers are THEIRS for 2 days or so (one day might be better, depending on the household), then they're fair game... BUT the person who wants to eat them should still double check. It's just polite.
I can't tell you how secretly disappointed I was when I went into the fridge at my family's house one day and found that the amazing leftovers I'd been obsessing over but saving had been eaten by my little brother. Of course, I was glad to share with him, but... asking is the safe way to always be sure!
re: laliria
In our house the rules are as follows
Leftovers of the family meal are up for grabs by anyone excpet when someone has made a specific reservation on them, this reservation can be either exclusionary (i.e. "dont eat that") or limitng ("you can eat some, but don't finish it"). If no such message is given it is assumed that whatever it is is not planned to form another family meal, though of coruse it can show up in a leftover meal if no one has eaten it as of this time (for example if Mom has made a roast beef for dinner, I am free, the next day to use it for lunch , and indeed to continue to use it for luces until I have used it up if I so choose, provided mom has not told me to leave it alone so that she can serve it for another dinner, but if she decieds to serve it for another dinner and I have'nt already used it up she is free to re use the rest. As a corollary it is considered good form in our house to inform others if you have used up something or ideally if you are going to use something up, so that unexpected conficts do not occur.
Leftovers of somthing ordered by a specific person remian the property of that person unless they specifcally tell you its up for grabs. However this only extends until such time as the person is no longer in a position to eat the food at that point it becomes pubicly available (i.e if we order in Chinese on a Saturday, I cannot eat my sisters leftovers on Sunday unless she specifically tells me i can. However if we order in on Sunday I can eat her leftovers on Monday as she doesn't take them to work with her and the next time she could sit down and eat them would be the next Saturday, by which point they would be spoiled.
Just as one shoud should inform someone if one is going to use something up, we also insist that in many cases someone inform the family members if one thinks something has spoiled and should be discarded, just in case it is something that they are not famialr with and have misjudged (like some smelly cheeses). Alsoafter some frustrating icideds mom has struck a dela with me that she will not throw out and Heirloom vegables (espeically tomatoes) if if the are rotting without my approval (so that I can save the seeds if I wish)
Moderately imperishable foods (like brownies or cookies) which are alotted specifically to people remain that persons, however if the person in question fails to consume said item within a reasonable period (two weeks is our normal cutoff) it becomes up for grabs as well (though asking is still considered good form)
What a great thread you have started Paul. People have so many takes on you having to share your quarter pounder with your brother. I think that it was awesome that you planned ahead at such a young age, and I think it should have been yours and yours alone. Planning ahead is an awesome life skill. If I really want a leftover I will tape a note on top of it, but this is rare. And if I don't eat it promptly I'll announce that it's up for grabs. It is a shame to let delicious food rot. I have heard of lots of other leftover fights from my friends. With my friend John's family it is usually about pizza. Once John ordered his pizza with a lot of extra garlic knowing his parents don't care for it. His dad ate it anyway. The latest pizza debacle was this past summer. John loaded up on extra goodies from pizza hut as he was planning on an all night gaming fest. Warhammer online I think. But when I drove him home his dad was still up!!! It wasn't safe to bring his treasures in the house. So I had to sit there in his sun room waiting for his dad to go to bed so that John could bring his treats from pizza hut into the house from my car. His dad always always goes to bed by midnight. But this time he stayed up til one am. I kept dozing off. It was really annoying. But John got his late night pizza pig out and didn't have to share. I got two slices from one of his pie for my service. I did understand where he was coming from. But next time John, you can hide your pizza out in your mom's gazebo or something!! :)
In our family, left overs become communal. With that said, whenever sister in law and her son comes over, they'll eat everything in the fridge and cupboards and leave you with the empty packages. So is that fair? No but it's their lack of respect for everyone else as well as being cheap so they don't have to cook. Seriously she admits she's cheap so she'll come over and eat.
My GF would love this thread! See, most times we are at restaurants, she will stop eating when she is full and I put the mental "clock" on her plate. If she doesn't eat or move anything for 60sec. I swoop in. If for some unknown reason some food does make it home, she pretty much understands at this point that the moment she closes that fridge door is the last time she will ever see it! :-)
That being said, I eat out at great restaurants and have great street food for lunch almost daily. She doesnt have the opportunity to go out for lunch, so I will get an entire meal of her liking and bring it home. It truly is an exercise in self restraint to not eat meal #2 before she gets home from work, but most times I manage!
re: nkeane
Sounds like true love nkeane. Chowhound style.
Leftovers from the restaurant are for my husband. Period. It's a battle I won't fight.
If I got home from work the next day and my leftovers were still there I'd check him for fever and a pulse.
Leftovers in our house usually go to me, but I ask first. My husband gets a staff meal at work, whereas I take my lunch to work everyday. So I get first dibs on leftovers either from home made meals or from restaurant meals.
I love this thread, it's fascinating.
Growing up it was never an issue. If it's in the fridge, someone might eat it. But that said, everyone, even the teenage brother, was almost always polite enough to at least do a basic shout out to the house "anyone gonna eat this pizza?!" before scarfing it down.
Skip ahead a decade or two to me shouting out to my new live in boyfriend "you going to eat this sandwich you brought home"- followed by him running out from the office, horrified. "Bu-bu-but that's MINE?!"
"Yes," I said confused, "but do you want it."
"It's mine."
"Are you going to eat it?"
"Ok, ok," as I slowly placed the container on the counter and backed away with my hands up.
It's Novemer. There's still a half a roll of Thin Mints sitting in our fridge. They've been there since March. I know better now than to throw them away. They're his.
re: hyacinthgirl
His response reflects an attitude or approach to life that makes me wonder about the longevity of your relationship. Good luck however it turns out.
re: hyacinthgirl
Dang hyacinthgirl I hope you have a big fridge. No statute of limitations huh?
re: hyacinthgirl
My husband - of 8 years - does this territorial leftover bit.
It comes from his family eating off his plate all of the time (they're wackos) without asking, never having enough food in the house, mom/dad never cooked, so they ordered pizza 4X week (not kidding), ..he's kind of like a hoarder with food items.
So, he has major food issues - MAJOR. I don't touch the leftovers - they may get tossed eventualy - but, it's something bigger going on besides just selfishness.
On a related note, he absolutley will NOT share food either - like a caged animal. I've gotten him to start sharing a pizza in the last few years (he won't eat a WHOLE pizza, but will have "his" pizza even if it's the same flavor/toppings as mine).
PS - he is in therapy at my insistence. Going out to eat costs a fortune for us!
Happy Holidays! *my fridge is bursting*
re: hyacinthgirl
re: hyacinthgirl
My BF and I avoid this conundrum by the simple fact that I'm vegetarian - therefore, all veggie leftovers are mine, and all meat ones are his. Sides and snacks, we share.
I have an 18 year old son - and usually any leftovers disappear overnight. If it's something I really want for myself, I hide it (doesn't take much effort - if it's not right in front of his face, he'll miss it). My daughter knows to hide anything she wants, too. Otherwise, I expect for it to be gone when I wake up. It's just what it is.
It sounds like you need a secret mini fridge specifically for hiding away leftovers ;)
Seriously though, they belong to the person who ordered them.

- Never a doubtOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/24/2014As one of the first restaurants opened after Columbia was founded in the '60s, Clyde's has always set the standard for a fine meal and atmosphere. Overlooking a lake, wood paneled, uniformly dressed staff; welcoming but clubby. The signature crab cake served that day with a kale and creamy sauced base was as excellent as ever. A lamb sausage cavatelli pasta with goat-cheese sauce was brimming with warm flavors without being intense. The roasted Brussells sprout appetizer was also a treat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great birthday celebrationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014Went on last minute planning with family and friends for early birthday get together and it was great the food was good everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning...Our waitress even took a group picture for us she was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014There was a horrible draft near the windows, I had to leave my jacket on the entire time we were at dinner. I asked If we could move to a booth further from the window and the staff gave me an attitude.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 6th anniversary dinnerMarkDined on 11/21/2014My fiancé and had our first date at Clyde's 6 years ago and decided to celebrate by going back there. It's not our usual dining spot as it's a pretty good drive for each of us, which is why we chose it for our first meeting. I had forgotten how nice it is. We ate in the "library", which has a wonderful atmosphere. The food is great with generous portions and prices are very reasonable. Service was courteous and prompt. As a nice bonus the management surprised us with a free desert with a candle. We wI'll definitely make this stop more often for dinner. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wineNdinemeVIPDined on 11/20/2014I was shocked that Clyde's served fruit that was wilted and old and a tail end of fish for an entre portion that was over cooked. Very disappointing!
- Always a good choice.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/20/2014Comfortable Columbia restaurant. Menu offers a lot of options for different palettes. We sat in the library which was cozy. Server was attentive but not annoying. Reasonably priced. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. We usually eat here when we are in town and have not be disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Below average serviceAPipeDined on 11/19/2014Our service was pretty poor today. Our server didn't greet us at all (water, hello, etc) until 5 minutes after we were seated. Two people in our party had iced teas and they were never refilled. One lunch came out incorrect and it was corrected within a few minutes. The service was extremely slow overall. The food itself was very nice - I think we all enjoyed the quality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BurtonDined on 11/18/2014My wife and I were at the original Clyde's opening in Georgetown fifty years ago. Since then, we have eaten at every Clyde's location. We particularly like Tower Oaks Lodge. Neither of us have ever had a bad or mediocre meal at any Clyde's or suffered any bad or mediocre service. It is a perfect place for a family gathering or a business luncheon.. Suggestion: You don't really need background music. In fact, rock music played at a high level diminishes the ambiance. Cheers, Burton Johnson President Burton A. Johnson Portfolio Management, Inc.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 11/17/2014Very cold and rainy night, so the restaurant was quiet. Good food but we were disappointed that the Monday night 1/2 price bottle of wine program has been suspended. Food is fairly pricey and the wine deal made Mondays a fun nigh to go to Clyde's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Girls' LunchPleasedCustomerDined on 11/2/2014Went to Clyde's to meet friends for lunch/brunch and were very pleased with the food, atmosphere, and service. All five of us were very pleased with our menu selections. We did not feel rushed at all to eat and vacate the table, as we find with some restaurants.Special Features:
- Major DisappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/25/2014We visit Clyde's about once every 4 to 6 weeks. This visit was not up to standard. I had the meatloaf (which I have had previously) which while supposedly accompanied with gravy, and set over mashed potatoes, was exceedingly dry, with dry potatoes, and an almost dry congealed gravy on top. Spouse ordered the whole lobster. Server split it (the main body). Spouse did not like the green gooey innards, and the tail, yes the lobster tail was not there. Our server took it back and it was exchanged for the short ribs (which should have been already cooked). It took about 15 minutes, perhaps more for the short ribs to come out. By that time I was finished my meal. Overall, a disappointing experience,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not great for couples!DMattVIPDined on 10/24/2014We always have mixed feelings about Our experiences at Clydes. Our waiter was outstanding, as was our food. However, I feel couples are stuck in seating wherever they can fit. Often that means in a corner next to large groups. And all too often, lately, that means near small children. This restaurant offers great food and good wines and beers, with accompanying prices. We don't like spending a hundred dollars for a dining experience that involves other people's conversations, opinions or whining kids.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always reliableeastcoasterDined on 10/24/2014attractive restaurant décor, good food, good view and good serviceSpecial Features:
- 15 Minutes, No Servergsw93Dined on 10/23/2014We've eaten at Clyde's several times before -- food and service have been good. Tonight, however, I guess we were misplaced. We had reservations, arrived on time, were seated by the hostess and then sat for 15 minutes without a peep. Servers were all over, but we were surrounded by a couple larger parties. Maybe our table's server was tied up or maybe he/she was weighing the relative size of their tip. Either way, we left and grabbed hot bar from Whole Foods.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- rileyDined on 10/23/2014We had a group of 9 and the hostess placed us in an out of the wya spot so we culd all socialize freely. The waitress was extremely accomodating. She was able to bill separately for the alcohol as some members did not imbibe. Made for a great relaxing evening of cousins wh don't see each other enough!Special Features:
- A family traditionwineanddineDined on 10/21/2014We take our son and his family to Clyde's each October - lobster month - and we visit other times throughout the year as well. Good, fresh food, nice atmosphere, good service. They have some serious competition now at the Columbia location, with the presence of Petit Louis - sometimes we go there instead now.Special Features:
- Consistently DeliciousShopper20143VIPDined on 10/18/2014Clyde's is that type of place where you know you'll have an enjoyable evening whether dining with a group of friends of just the two of you. Their menu has selections for everyone's appetite, whether you want a full course meal or just sandwiches or burgers. Their Reuben sandwiches are enough for two meals (try it with cole slaw instead of sauerkraut) and burgers are amazing. Service is attentive without being intrusive. In the warmer weather, sit outside overlooking the lake in Columbia for added enjoyment. Usually we don't have room for dessert but if you do, they have the best chocolate mousse around and their sundaes are large enough to share.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Small portions of tasty foodHungryDinerDined on 10/18/2014Enjoyed the flavors in our meals, but were left hungry due to small portion size. They more than made up for that in the size of the dessert. I would have preferred a larger entree and a smaller dessert.Special Features:
- my favorite placePariseDined on 10/17/2014The best place for lunch with friends...even if better if you can get a table outside. The food and service are always good, never disappointing. Definately recommend Clyde's in Columbia.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wanting morewhatsfordinnerDined on 10/11/2014The flavor/texture was fine but it left me wanting more. The dessert menu extremely limited --I could not find one thing on the dessert menu that I liked our wanted.Special Features:
- Not as good as years past.GeorgiaPeachDined on 10/9/2014The food and service were disappointing. The lobster special, was very bland and tasteless, most likely overcooked. The filet bernaise, sauce was off tasting. We had problems getting the wait staff's attention, they were too busy talking amoung theirselves.Special Features:
- Nice TimeJCluveditDined on 10/5/2014My visit to Clyde's was a birthday celebration for my boyfriend. We ordered Lobster and the New York Strip Steak for dinner. They were delicious and the server was very attentive and knowledgeable. Our experience was wonderful. Looking forward to our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I grew up in Columbia and had fond memories of dining at Clyde's, but it was a let down this time. I won't be returning...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good FoodCaliTerpDined on 10/2/2014We went to dinner on the first night my family arrived from California for a very East Coast meal. Everybody loved the food. The cream of crab soup is to die for. We also split up a bunch of other appetizers, all of which were great. It was late on a Thursday night and not crowded, but the service was still very slow. The setting is great and we weren't in a rush so it didn't matter, but we had to ask for things a lot for people that were just walking by because our server wasn't very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BurtonDined on 10/1/2014Stuart Davidson, your founder, was a friend of my late sister-in-law, Barbara Remington. Consequently, my wife, Martha, and I were invited to the opening of his first Clyde's on M Street in Georgetown. I have been to every subsequent Clyde's on many occasions in intervening years, and I have never had a bad meal or experience. I would like to see your menu contain more vegetarian items. Best regards, Burton Johnson, MD,JD President Burton A. Johnson Portfolio Management, Inc. Sandy Spring, MDSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner with FamilyReneDined on 9/28/2014We all had a good time, my son, my daughter-in-law, her son and his fiancee. Two of us enjoyed the lobster, and enjoyed the dinner very much. I liked especially the really tasty french fries. One had the crab cake and relished it. We all had dessert, three chocolate mousses, one chunky brownie, and one pecan bread pudding. The rest were delicious. The waiter was very proficient and helpful. The welcome from the reception was inviting and swift.Special Features:
- I like my Bennie hotColdDined on 9/28/2014Tho it didn't seem to be all that busy and we had a reservation, our party of six was asked to sit in a booth-but when we asked to be moved they did move us to a nice table. The biggest issue was service. And it wasn't a matter of our server being too busy as when we would ask another server to get him he would come along. The food would have been great if it was served promptly!Special Features:
- Terrible experience on 9/282014TomKEllicottCityDined on 9/28/2014Told Clyde's via Open Table that the 28th was my wife's birthday and Clyde's did nothing to acknowledge the date while, during brunch, the restaurant provided complimentary birthday cake to one of the party in the next booth. Initially seated at a booth with an obstructed view of the lake: we told the server that we wanted an unobstructed view--there were plenty of empty booths (maybe a telltale sign right there)--the server indicated that he would have to check. Eventually seated at an unobstructed lake-view booth, had to wait for water. The wait for our glasses of wine suggested that Clyde's placed an order to Napa just then. Food was mediocre at best and amazingly slow to arrive. Advice? Don't go --we won't be back for a long time.
- We met with friends, and had BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014Sunday brunch outdoors was very nice. The waitress/barmaid was wonderful, and so was the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still popular and funLainieVIPDined on 9/27/2014It turned out that we got pretty much what we hoped from our evening at Clyde's. We had nice weather for outdoor dining, we got a table pretty quickly by coming early, we had good meal choices, and we lucked out with music across from us on the adjacent deck. Our waiter was very helpful with suggestions from the menu. Although it took a little longer than we hoped to get our food, all in all, we had a pretty nice dining experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014I enjoyed my dinner experience so much that I took some out of town friends there Sunday for lunch. They loved it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lobster was excellentdavieVIPDined on 9/19/2014Four of us had dinner after a movie. Three of us had the lobster special, and one had crab cake. All of us liked our food very much, and the service was also good. I will go back a few times before the end of October for the lobster. I wish that they still served baked potato because it goes so well with lobster. The only negative that I have is that the restaurant is very noisy.
- Overlooking Lake KittamaqundiHard2PleaseDined on 9/13/2014Nice setting. The server was knowledgeable on the menu, helpful on drinks and entree selections though not overly attentive. Had the crab soup, which was good, and Lobster Pot Pie. My only complaint is that it wasn't "Pot Pie" pot pie typically has a pastry crust, this had a mashed potato topping so it was more of a Shepard's pie. Other than the disappointment over the crust the filling was tasty. My spouse had NY Strip, which was good. The deserts were good, Creme Brulee and a Peach cobbler, as were the drinks. The bill for two was under $100. The tables are a bit close together so it felt like we were part of the first date of the couple in the table next to us and the noise level is a bit high. I like it better for lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Continues to shineDiningout2Dined on 9/11/2014I have been dining at Clyde's for probably 33 years since I began dating my husband . I love the renovations which did not change the local feel and kept things warm and welcoming. The menu continues to have favorites - mine is the crab cake and it was delicious as always. The staff worked hard to be attentive to our needs and requests. Although Clyde's is a chain it remains a Columbia institution.Special Features:
- First time and not disappointed!JustTrenaDined on 9/11/2014This was my first visit to Clyde's of Columbia and it did not disappoint at all. Our wait staff was knowledgeable on the food selection and her recommendation (crab cakes!) was on point. I would definitely come back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Columbia Classic!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/6/2014Our daughter was in town and she choose going to Clydes due to the memories. It is hard to leave up to memories but on a very busy Saturday night the Lobster special was terrific and so was the service. Such a great classic restaurant that keeps going strong.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

"Amazingly, the universe began in chaos. Things were fast, it was cool. Over the years, that chaos would take many forms, but one thing it's never become is portable!"Released towards the end of 1993 for the Sega Game Gear and Master System, Sonic Chaos—or Sonic & Tails as it's called in Japan* —makes quite a few improvements upon its predecessor, the 8-Bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.South Island is in turmoil. In his latest scheme to take over the world, Dr. Robotnik has just nabbed one of the six Chaos Emeralds, and as a result, South Island is on the verge of sinking into the ocean. Getting wind of this scheme, Sonic and his buddy Tails must retrieve the other five Emeralds and steal the sixth back from Robotnik before it's too late. With six zones, three acts each, and five Emeralds to collect, it's time to hero up and save South Island!Sonic Chaos presents a couple of firsts for 8-Bit Sonic. Notably, it's the first where the Chaos Emeralds are collected via Special Stage instead of in the actual zones, the first to feature the Spindash, and also the first to allow you to play as Tails.But in a first for the series as a whole, Sonic and Tails were differentiated gameplay-wise. Sonic can perform the Peelout/Strike Dash - a technique carried over from Sonic CD - and for some reason he's the only one who can enter Special Stages (by collecting 100 Rings in a regular act). Tails is slower, but he can fly, and he has the benefit of starting the game with a couple of continues (Sonic has to work for his!). Needless to say, Tails' game is considered the easier of the two.Items introduced here were the Rocket Shoes, which sends your character forward with a powerful thrust of speed and mild flight capabilities for a short period of time, and the Pogo Spring, which allows you to do extra high jumps but also for a short period of time.

November 28, 2014
May 24, 2009
The Virginia baseball team scored seven runs in the 7th inning and beat Duke 11-7 in the ACC tournament, securing its spot in Sunday's ACC championship game.
The game was scoreless in the 3rd inning until Duke finally broke through on a series of Virginia miscues. Jeremy Gould struck out for what would have been the third out, but the ball got away from catcher John Hicks. Gould ended up safe at 1st and Ryan McCurdy scored to give Duke a 1-0 lead. Duke got its second run when Jake Lemmerman hit a grounder to Tyler Cannon at shortstop. His throw to second for the force was off the mark, allowing Matt Williams to score. The Blue Devils then capped off the inning when Lemmerman was able to avoid getting tagged out in a rundown, while Gould stole home to make it 3-0 Duke.
The Cavaliers got one run back in the 4th when Danny Hultzen singled in Dan Grovatt. But the Blue Devils would respond in their half of the inning. McCurdy singled to left to score Will Piwnica-Worms and up Duke's lead back to three.
Virginia got on the board once again in the 6th when Dan Grovatt hit a solo home run. One inning later, the Cavaliers would break the game wide open. Virginia scored seven runs in the 7th inning to take a commanding 9-4 lead, and that would be the difference in the game. Grovatt led the way for the Cavaliers with four hits and three RBIs. Franco Valdes and Keith Werman also had two RBIs apiece for Virginia.
The Cavaliers are the only team to finish round robin play in the ACC tournament with a perfect 3-0 record. Virginia will face Division A winner Florida State in the ACC championship game on Sunday. It is Virginia's second consecutive appearance in the title game. Earlier this season the Cavaliers defeated the Seminoles 15-2 in Charlottesville. The teams were scheduled to play a three game series, but the other two games were canceled due to the weather.

"Another American Revolution has begun. It began here in Boston, and we'll see more of these American athletes in the future."
"There is a increased realization that a green revolution is about to begin, ... This is a real shift in technology."
"No one expected that I would be chosen as president of this party, so this is kind of a revolution in the LDP,"
"before you revolt against a dictator , rebellion against god, because he is the most bloody dictator"
"A revolution does not last more than fifteen years, the period which coincides with the flourishing of a generation."
"The invited are young players who are followers of the revolution and have a clean background. If you have relatives who live in other places in the world, it will be really difficult to be taken out of Cuba on that team. For example, if you have an uncle who lives in Miami, it's going to be real hard for you to leave the country. They worry that you will stay there."
"Rising from a close demise, we shall surprise the world's astonished eyes. Bleeding passion and rage throughout the night, only to win this fight, with such fearsome might. Don't worry my subtle friend; I will be with you in this fight, until the bitter end."
