    Nothing wrong with leftovers, just call them planovers... ;)

    They generally are planned.

    Fifth Course: chocolate ice cream with sprinkled coconut spooned
    right from the carton as we had run out of clean bowls and the
    energy to do dishes.

    Common procedure around here... after all, it's just the two of us

    My grandkids got a kick out of me putting a 4 litre pail of ice
    cream on the table that had had maybe one cup removed, and giving
    them a bunch of toppings and spoons and telling them to make a
    giant sundae. But when all was said and done they didn't eat any
    more than they would have with individual bowls and parental portion
    control.

    Lithuanians eat a lot of beets and some of their desserts seem to be
    pretty dire!

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Lithuanian Beet Pudding
    Categories: Lithuanian, Desserts, Pudding
    Yield: 8 servings

    2 c beet juice,
    made from raw beets
    2 l (2 quarts) water
    4 tb Potato starch
    1/2 Vanilla bean
    2 Lemons

    Dissolve starch in 1 cup cold water. Bring remaining water to a
    boil, mix in starch solution, vanilla bean, sugar, beet juice,
    juice of 1 lemon. Bring mixture to a boil.

    Remove from heat, pour pudding into a glass pitcher, add thinly
    sliced lemon and let cool.

    Beet pudding has not only a beautiful, rosy color but a very
    distinctive taste.
