Sometimes, I cook not what I want to eat that night, but what I want to eat the next day. Chili, all sorts of soups and stews and roasts, fried chicken — these are all delicious straight from the pot (or the cooling rack set in a baking sheet). But I like them better as leftovers, after they’ve had a moment to mellow in the fridge and relax into their best selves.
