When I was growing up (still am) we would often call leftover dinners 'Mennonite weekly review.' I thought maybe we should change the name to something that uses the word 'Tapas.'
Tapas restaurants have become much more popular here in DC. Jaleo was the first one that I discovered a few years ago. Since then many more have been opened including the very nice Las Tasca in Clarendon (one of the first US openings of the UK group).
But back to leftovers...calling leftovers 'tapas' - and presenting them as such on small plates, seems to make eating leftovers much more appealing. At least it worked the other night! :)
