“It began, as all great adventures do, with Styrofoam…”

That’s me – staring through a stack of styrofoam…where did they come from? What do they hold?

It’s all part of a great “leftover adventure!”

You see, we had friends over, so Alex ordered some middle-eastern food from a terrific restaurant…except we didn’t realize how much we ordered…Alex shot this look at the food:

The food was delicious, but we barely scratched the surface of the meal – and that left me with multiple styrofoam containers of leftovers to store, which made me think it might be fun to do a “leftover mashup”:

With that setup, I decided to film myself opening each of these and deciding how to best turn them into a nice leftover dish – and I really had no idea what stuff like this even was:

That said, here is the unveiling of each individual container – and my plan for how to cook it all:

I cooked bacon and garlic in olive oil as a base for all the leftovers to come.

After letting the bacon and garlic cook, I returned to my large bowl filled with all of the other leftovers:

I poured it into the pan and blended it together over low heat, allowing it to warm up again – since it was already all cooked!

Now, time to finish the dish:

I’m actually very happy with how I was able to utilize virtually all of the leftovers in a way that was tasty – I know someone whose Grandmother would make meatloaf anytime the cottage cheese was going bad in the refrigerator, but this rice pilaf dish actually extended our food for several days!

Thanks for joining me on my Styrofoam Adventure: as some of you know I am not afraid to head down some very unequal culinary paths – like this unique thanksgiving meal:

Yes, I ate “Thanksgiving Dinner Candy Corn” so you wouldn’t have to – but which one was surprisingly good – and which was amazingly awful?

I also tried this unique toasted treat:

These tasty treats are hugely popular in Japan – so I had to do a taste test as well!

See it here:

And get ready for this:

My son Jeff bought me a “Cheeseburger In A Can” because he KNEW I’d have fun trying this out! It’s all part of my obsession with all “foods in a can”:

I found this “hamburgers in a can” ad – and can only imagine how popular these were at one point – and how quickly people learned to buy them fresh!

I am a fan of “canned food” because it is so unique in our history:

This “potted meat food product” for example – some joke that it’s “everything but the oink” – but Spam is being used to a lot of fun recipes – especially during “Pumpkin Spice” month – so click here to see what I made with it:

Some of you also know that I recently tried “weasel coffee” – thanks to my friend Sabrina, who brought me THIS from Asia:

It’s th world’s most expensive coffee, because it goes through a real live Weasel first! See more about his delicious and unique “premium Weasel product” here:
