外教讲解地道美语 第322期:圣诞节后的剩饭

A: What's for dinner?

B: Leftovers.

A: What? Leftovers of what and from when?

B: From last night! I took the left over turkey, mixed it with some diced peppers and onions, added a little bit of mayonnaise and made some sandwiches!

A: Isn't that dangerous though? I mean bacteria and germs reproducing on food that was left out or re-heated?

B: Well, I didn't leave the turkey out at room temperature for more than a an hour and I refrigerated it soon after we finished eating. Also, when reheating, I put it in the oven for fifteen minutes at one hundred degrees Celsius.

A: Well OK, I am just afraid of getting food poisoning.

B: Don't worry about it! Making a new meal out of leftovers is almost an art!  Not only do you save money, but you also get to be creative and have something different to eat!
