Foods... to eat or not to eat

So... I never thought I was a picky eater until I got a little older and started meeting new people. I realized that there are so many foods that I do not eat.just today I had lunch with three people and two of them were eating things I did not like. Along with being somewhat picky I DO NOT eat leftovers. Last night for dinner I made this chicken dish, and there was some left over. I feel terrible throwing food away but why save something I know I am not going to eat? No worries, last night the deep blogging boyfriend was over and he eats anything so he took the leftovers. I cannot stand anything about leftovers. Take mashed potatoes for example, so good! Leftover in the microwave: NASTY. I know there are other ways to heat food up that might make it taste better but please do not suggest that to me. I have tried it and I still do not like them. Nothing that is hot tastes exactly the same if you reheat it. My mom (she's the best mom ever) BUT she saves all of our food and eats it until it's gone. I mean I guess she's a better person than I am but I just cannot bring myself to do it. On top of not liking the food leftover, I hate doing left over dishes. They sit in your fridge until someone eats it or it gets gross before someone gets to it and you end up having to throw it away and wash the container. Those dishes are the worst. They smell and you have to get the old food out. No thanks. My mom told me that she thinks when I start buying my own groceries and making food at my own house I will not throw things away as much. Sorry mom, not the case. I bought all the things to make the meal last night. I had no problem throwing the extars out that we did not save. I can't do it. I guess when I move out I will have to take my leftovers to my mom. I realize that some people are huge fans of leftovers. If you would like to come and pick up my leftovers when I make too much food let me know. I do not like left overs food and I am not afraid to admit that.
