The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.

About This Quote

If you have ever had the experience of having leftover food, you know how hard it is to let go of it. If your mother gave you leftovers, they would probably be so good that it would be painful to give them up. You would probably keep putting them in the fridge or freezer, hoping that someday they would become edible again. This quote perfectly expresses this dilemma.
