Having Leftovers

What’s for dinner?

晚餐吃什么？

Leftovers.

剩菜。

What? Leftovers of what and from when?

什么？什么剩菜？哪天的？

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!

昨晚的！我把剩下的火鸡肉切碎，拌上一些青椒丁和洋葱丁，加点蛋黄酱，做成了三明治！

Isn’t that dangerous though? I mean bacteria and germs reproducing on food that was left out or reheated?

但这样不危险吗？我是说，食物放久了或者重新加热，细菌和微生物会繁殖吧？

Well, I didn’t leave the turkey out at room temperature for more than 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.

嗯，我把火鸡放在室温下没超过一小时，吃完后很快就放冰箱了。而且重新加热时，我用烤箱一百度烤了十五分钟。

Well ok, I am just afraid of getting food poisoning.

好吧，我只是担心食物中毒。

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!

别担心！用剩菜做新菜简直是一门艺术！不仅省钱，还能发挥创意，吃出花样来！
