  • #13;

  • Leftover meat should be eaten within three to four days; gravy, within one to two days. You can also freeze leftovers, but make sure you eat them within six months.

  • #13;

  • 1/4 pound radishes
  • #13;

  • Kosher salt
  • #13;

  • 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
  • #13;

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • #13;

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • #13;

  • 4 fresh sub rolls

Julienne the carrot and radish into matchstick-sized strips, then toss with 1 teaspoon salt. Let drain in a colander for 30 minutes.
