What to do with leftovers in the fridge?

That was the question last evening, and with the increasing lack of variety of foods available in the stores one has to get creative to keep the old taste buds in working order. The days when items may have remained in the fridge until tossed out are passed, did I mention the lack of variety in the stores?

So I had a couple roast chicken thighs, some stewed onion and tomato, some pasty, a jar of hot salsa, feta cheese.

Took the meat of the bones of chicken, mixed some of the stewed tomato with the salsa [still too hot for Fran] rolled out the pastry really thin, placed all ingredients in the middle and folded it over from sides and both ends, baked for ½ hour at 325 convection, Bebé caliente y sabroso!

Another nice day in the offing -17 with some cloud, getting low on bread so will have to make up a batch then it is off out for some walking.

Addendum:

In case some get the wrong impression, we are luckier than many, we have a nice selection of country food in the freezer, and when I say lack of selection in the stores I mean a variety of healthy foods. There is ample processed and pre cooked and deep fried stuff, nothing wrong with that in moderation.
Variety is the spice of life.


Update on the walk for diabetes:
Giant had been delayed for four days at same place for four days and will be at it again early tomorrow morning heading to Postville first stop over. He should get there Sunday before noon. two women from Natuashish inspired by Giant's determination will walk from Natuashish to Hopedale to meet him there. They will walk back with him to Natuashish and should be there next week if theyare not delayed by weather. We have the first contribution from a forestry company in Noava scotia called Mclearan.All contributions will be donated back to Diabetes Research. Thanks for all your support.

Nice to hear of a man who can cook creatively.
That's what I need around here, I'm getting a bit fed up with cooking for myself. But never mind... tomorrow evening I'm going to Swiss Chalet with some friends, won't have to cook OR wash up. YAY!!

Had a GD birthday dinner at Swiss Chalet in Sin City about 15 years ago, it was good from memory, the Dairy Queen for desert was not so good from memory.
