We cooked way too much food yesterday. We always do when it comes to cooking out. That’s because we cook enough of each meat so that everyone present can have some of all of it. Now we have brats, burgers, salmon, kebob casserole, and sides left. That’s OK, though, because Son and I will make good use of the leftovers for the next couple of days. All we’ll have to do is warm them up and enjoy great, grilled foods without any of the mess of starting up the grill.

I have my microwave here, and will warm up some things with it. The meat, however, I’ll warm in the oven. That way, it won’t wind up being so dried out and tough. The microwave just isn’t any good for cooking or warming meat, in my opinion. Real heat from the oven is the only way to go as far as I’m concerned.

I’ve also got plenty of pasta salad and potato salad left to put with the other things, so we should have several well-rounded meals for the next day or two. Any meats that are left after that will go into the freezer. I know that after a couple of days, we’ll get tired of eating from this stuff, so freezing it for future meals is the best way to go.
