I honestly feel like some food tastes better the next day. But sometimes, those tasty leftovers are marred by being almost impossible to re-heat all the way through. So you find yourself constantly stopping the microwave to stir your leftovers, or cut your deliciousness into undesirable little chunks. Well fret not! There is a very easy and interesting solution to this problem.

It's a pretty quick, pleasant drive without much traffic. At least it was until a week or so ago, when I had to swerve to avoid people standing in the road, gazing into a tree through their telephoto camera lens instead of paying attention to where they were walking!
