 We always buy more than we need  no matter  we care about the amount .  We all have food left over, specially after big dinners or parties. There is a tradition in my family. ... leftover party. If one of us have a  party or big dinner , second day we organize family dinner to finish leftover food. I always enjoy my leftover parties. I always find more tasty the  food. I am  guessing that relax  after a tiring day  enhances the flavor of foods for me. And also it gives me  chance to criticizing  my own cooking .
