Delayed Gratification

[cosmicfolklore]

I was thinking about which tobaccos I enjoy even more when I finish the last of a bowl later on, sometimes even weeks later, and it got me to thinking...

Fried chicken is always better the next day, eaten cold, preferably while standing with the refrigerator door open in just boxers and washing it down with milk right out of the jug.
Chili and stews are always better the next day, after they've had time for all of the ingredients to meld together. reheated of course.
Even lasagna is better the next day.

Salads... not better.
hamburgers... not better.

What other things can you think of that are better the day after than fresh out of the oven or stove?

Pizza, room temp!

At my age A Promise is better than the actual thang! I Garronte!

Revenge is better served up cold.

Chinese and Indian food always tastes better to me the next day.

Hmmmmm, maybe, but naan is always best straight out of the fire.

Sometimes a cold piece of pizza the next day hits much better.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal outside of Alabama.

Home made soups are better 1-2 days later for same melding/fermenting reason.
Receiving the tobacco order is always better than the order confirmation.
Wine after it has breathed (?).
Re-reading threads after they have blown up and been locked.

I sometimes purposely only light a bowl and set it down for later. Lots of blends taste better that way to me.

Wedding cake 1 year later was amazing.

Investments aren't always better the next day, and neither are all women.
Food poisoning is usually better the next day, as well as hang overs.

Pad Thai tastes great one or two days later!!

Some things you just can't un-see...

Quite right! But I chose not to 'see' it in the first place.- though I am sure it's a lovely sight.....

Overnight is for pussies.

Manly Men delay gratification for ten years:

How were they stored?

And 2009 wasn't ten years ago; it's fifteen!

Ummm, in my experience, French Fries suck the very minute they get cold. The buns on the burgers turn to stone overnight. The meat might be ok, but I don't think there's any actual meat in it.

Fortunately, most of our Avatars are head shots or symbols ! But that may change now ...

Yer makin' my point for me.... only Manly Men can handle TRUE gratification.

mmmmmm....

I like pretty much all BBQ better the next day. Especially pulled pork.
