LEGENDARY LEFTOVERS

Rubbery meat, soggy tacos, bread that could break
a tooth - blah. One thing is clear: not all meals are
leftover material. On the other hand, some foods
just taste better on day two, when the ingredients
have melded and the flavors hit their peak. The
following are some tasty day-two dinners, or as we
like to call them: legendary leftovers.

PASTA, RICE AND POTATOES

Any dish featuring pasta, rice or potatoes will be
delicious well after it was cooked. But did you know

they're reheated? The process is called "retrogradation," which happens when the food's structure
changes after it sits for a period. Ultimately our
bodies absorb fewer carbohydrates and calories.
