Doggy Bag Please

                A doggy bag in this case is not what you would put your dog's poop in when you're out on a walk.  No, it is also not a bag that you stuff you dog in.  Bags are not meant to have dogs in them!  This doggy bag is referred to a take-out bag or box for leftovers when you are out to eat.  If you have never had a take-out box, then maybe you are eating all of the food on your plate (which isn't always the best idea).  Doggy bags are a wonderful thing.  A lot of times the leftover food on your plate would be thrown away in the garbage and wasted, but with a doggy bag you can take home the leftovers and have it to eat for the next day or days after that.  STOP WASTING FOOD PEOPLE! USE A DOGGY BAG! 
                If you have never heard of the term “doggy bag” then maybe you are too young or people around you use a different local language.  A tip for using a doggy bag is to not put it in the microwave and have it be the source that holds your food when heating, unless it says microwave safe.  For your information, in case you have forgotten, a doggy bag is just a general term and most likely your food would be put into a styrofoam box, cardboard box or plastic box.  So if you want to heat your food in the microwave, the best thing to do is transfer the food to a microwave safe container and warm it up that way.
                What would you put in your “doggy bag”?  Some leftovers are just meant to stay in the fridge and never be eaten because they aren’t pleasing to the eye when warmed up or they just have an unpleasant taste.  Hint: A lot of food that is being warmed up can turn out soggy.  It all depends on how picky of an eater you are.  If you are a person who would eat anything, sure, go ahead and load up that doggy bag with leftovers.  But, if you are like me and most other people, try not to put things that would get deformed when heated back up.  Nachos for example can become really soggy when reheated, that can be good or bad, just depends on if you like hard chips or wet ones.
                If you are saving leftovers, consider these safety tips.  Doggy bags are a wonderful thing, meant for leftovers not dogs.
