"   My dad opened up the refrigerator a couple days ago and said, &amp;quot;No more cooking. No more eating out. We need to finish up all these leftovers!&amp;quot; I don&amp;#039;t really like to eat the same thing more than once, so last night I decided to eliminate all the leftovers in one fell swoop. From the fridge came the leftover polenta, onions, peppers and kielbasa from the grill, sour cream, scallions, salsa and cheese from the enchiladas, and a tomato from the 4th. The only thing that wasn&amp;#039;t recycled was a can of kidney beans. I sliced the polenta, brushed it with oil and broiled it on one side. I put the drained, rinsed kidney beans, diced tomato and kielbasa, onions and peppers in a saucepan to heat. In bowls I put sour cream, shredded cheese and two kinds of salsa. Once browned on top, I arranged the polenta on a platter and spooned the bean mixture on top. We all topped our own serving. Scallions were sliced thin as a final embellishment. It kind of felt like a mishmash of everything we&amp;#039;d eaten all week, but still not bad. And tonight I get to eat something entirely different.  If I&amp;#039;m on top of things, I like to plan ahead and make something that can be morphed into an entirely different meal. (Have you seen Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller on the Food Network? She does this meal-morphing thing for three family dinners, but I have yet to try one of her recipes.) The Woman&amp;#039;s Day test kitchen does its share of leftover usage, too. The Month of Menus suggests Sunday dinners that can be turned into Tuesday-night dinner. And there&amp;#039;s a story on the web site with three different two-recipe combos: Sirloin Steak with Golden Onions \u2014 Philly Cheesesteak Pasta  Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Rice and Pineapple Salsa \u2014 Cuban Sandwiches with Rice-Orange Salad Italian Chicken and Peppers \u2014 Buffalo Chicken Pizza How do you feel about leftovers? Will you eat them as is, or turn them into something new? \u2014 Kim Walker "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
