\nDo you ever feel like you’re walking around with a sign on your back that says, “Not cool enough?”
\n
I suppose it may just say, “kick me,” and the “not cool enough” factor is inferred. It is<\/em> on my back. I can’t see it all that well.
\n
I like to imagine the sign changes with each person who sees it. While one person may look and see that my sign says “standoffish,” someone who has known me longer may see that it says “reserved,” which is closer to the truth. Does it really matter what one person reads in comparison to the other? Should it bother me that some, but not all, associate kindness with extroversion or that sarcasm is often misread? People are entitled to their own opinions, and it remains within yourself whether or not you seek to change their mind.
\n
If I told I was going to serve leftovers you may instantly turn away, bored at the thought of a meal of reheated tubs of food. However, if I presented it as a crisp, lightly fried rice cake with flaky fish topped with a bit of sriracha spice, you may stay a while and see what I’m serving. It’s all in the packaging and the wording, but if they decide to leave when they see the “leftovers” sign it’s their loss.

\n
It’s probably not cool to continuously tell you about my leftovers. The chicken salad in a jar<\/a>: leftovers. Fish cakes: leftovers. Who said leftovers had to be boring and reheated in the microwave?
\n
We try to keep a regular amount of fish in our diet, but one of the things that always bothers me is leftover fish. I do not want to waste good fish. It’s not a resource I can just throw away, but reheated fish just isn’t all that exciting. That is, unless it’s turned into crispy fish cakes and served with a spicy mayonnaise. Suddenly leftovers are no longer leftovers, and instead, they’re a perfectly presentable meal.
