Northern Hemispherians: This evening, when it gets dark (around 6:15 or so) go look at the moon. How is it feelings?
Brazilians: I'm not sure if this will work for you, but check it out and let us know if your night sky has a mood.

GRRRRR, why does blogger reload after I've started typing, and then delete everything I've said!?!
ARG.
Anyway, on to the answer - almost every day of the week. We do big cooking one (maybe two nights) and then make leftovers that we use for lunches and dinners all week long.

We have been checking out Jupiter and Venus for several nights now. Last night was beautiful.
My family treats leftovers like the plague. I am grateful that they will eat SOS, as that is the ONLY way I can serve leftovers. But they have a limit of about once a month. It makes meal preps a challenge...not too little, not too much.
By the way, you mentioned the Jonas brothers yesterday. I hate to admit this, but I rather like their song "Lovebug." The acostic part is really nice and the lyrics don't make me throw up. I get subjected to a lot of music that makes you want to throw up these days. I worry not, as the boys outgrew this stage and finally started appreciating good music as opposed to what their friends were listening to.
I LOVE leftovers. Really love them. I wish we ate them more often, but usually we eat our entire meal right after we cook it. We need to learn what TamiJean does.
I almost always cook too much for the two of us, so somebody either takes it for lunch, or we freezer-pack it for lazy weekends.
Unless it was a tried-it-once kinda recipe, then it'll probably ferment in tupperware until I throw it out. That sounds gross.

The tupperware fermenting is the biggest problem with leftovers. If you don't SEE it, you don't think "mmm, I should eat that" unless you happen to have a fabulous memory of the food and are looking for it specifically.
Which, let's be honest, rarely happens. I've found that if I separate my leftovers into single-serving containers as I put it away, the food almost always gets eaten, and we end up throwing far far less of it away. If, instead, I put it all in a big container, it's about 50% likely to turn into a science experiment.
I work in the reverse manner. I will take one weekend a month and make meals to freeze. Meatballs, breaded chicken, all the fixings for a stew, even taquitos for breakfast. I will freeze them in individual and family-size portions. Great for lazy weekend, mixed-up weeks and hungry 15 year olds. Fewer leftovers and lots of easy meals.
I have promised to never, ever make a casserole for dinner, so that is not one of my options, by the way. I can get away with a stew.
We looked at the moon and planets yesterday.....beautiful.......won't happen again until 2052!!
Leftovers.........perhaps 1-2 times a week. Sometimes the food actually tastes better the second time around..........
BRRR! We had 34 degrees this morning. I have ordered snow for Christmas and the week afterwards!!!
All the time. We cook purposefully so that we will have all our lunches as leftovers, and then have leftovers for dinner sometimes.
