I'd feed the leftovers to the dog and tell her they were delicious. Then order something good.

Put the leftovers down the disposal. Then eat out.
Don't order in. You might leave evidence.

Smart lady!
You can also distract DW by cleaning out the fridge. She will be so shocked she'll forget all about leftovers.

Frozen pizza does not count as food. Period. (In Chicago we take our pizza's as seriously as we do our hotdogs!)
I agree with Beer, win-win.

Take handfuls of leftovers and huck them around the kitchen. Then write a note for DW saying that you tried this whole "leftover" concept but couldn't quite get the hang of it, and attach it to a bucket and mop. Then head out to your nearest steakhouse. You'll never be asked to eat leftovers again.  |

So, I got a text earlier that the girls were all going to be out tonight (kegger at Ratchets place  !!) and was asked politely ordered to have some of the leftovers in the fridge for dinner so we can finally get rid of them. After seeing the selection of leftovers, nothing looked very appealing (which would explain why they've been in the fridge so long), so I decided to have a frozen pizza instead. Would this technically count as a leftover? I think my defense will be "it was "left over" from the last time you went grocery shopping." Whaddya think? I do have a backup defense too, but it's a little dodgey. Take it out of the freezer. Cook it. Leftovers! Dial the phone. Order gooey pizza. Leftovers! Any thing else you want or need? Hookers? Blow? I'm not sure you want those as leftovers though.  |

Frozen Pizza isn't food? Ooh, I've been starving us for many a weeknight...  I'm with Swamp. And now I want pizza for dinner. I hate you all. |

Be prepared for a cranky wife. She probably told you to eat them because she's either sick of eating them herself or tired or wasting food. Or both. If you skip them for the frozen pizza she might have earmarked for another easy night/meal, you're going to be in for it! How was the pizza?  |

I can't imagine telling my husband what he should have for dinner when I'm gone. If he's on his own, he's on his own, I don't dictate what he should eat. And ever though I find it annoying that he will go to McDonald's instead of heating up leftovers, or cooking a burger and fries we have in the freezer, he's a big boy and can decide for himself what he wants to eat.

My interpretation would be that she's not cooking for you and she doesn't want to see the leftovers in the refrigerator anymore. So take the others of advice and dispose of them, while you are cooking the pizza.

You need to practice your nagging on some of the small things. I would "suggest" that my snookums eat the leftovers, because I can't help myself. Then he would probably do something entirely different just because he hates feeling like he's been "told what to do". I should have ordered a more malleable one. |

yes. if by "you" you mean Ratchets, not Mr. Swamp. That would be awesome if Mr Swamp got a Hemi Challenger too!!  I don't have to worry about that because he doesn't like Dodge's. However, I am a little worried about the potential purchase of 2014 Corvette and a John Deer tractor. |

I've been waiting to hear the dodgey backup defense! Well, the secondary defense is that she's been cooking a lot more healthy food lately, which is probably why the leftovers look so unappetizing. So by eating the frozen pizza she won't be tempted to break her diet and eat unhealthy food...remove the pizza, remove the temptation. I think if I explain that in a calm, rational manner she would totally see my point. And probably even thank me! I mean, I'm really sacrificing my health for her...she's such a lucky woman .  Oh Ratchets. You know you'd just be better off backhanding her when she comes home and yelling "Don't boss me, woman! Now go make me a sandwich,", right? |

You do that. It has been so nice knowing you! seriously just throw the stuff out and tell her it had already started to go bad. If you are want just call her up and ask if the leftovers had blue cheese in them. |

Did it or did it not create more room in the freezer (for freezing leftovers) when you removed and cooked the frozen pizza.
