It turns out it just takes focus. When the fridge is full of leftovers and other things that will turn bleh in a few days you choose meals by asking yourself, "What can I finish up?" I did this the very next night and knocked out two containers plus half of a third. Hawk knocked out one or two, as well.

Of course, that wasn't even half the leftovers in the picture but it was good start. We knocked out two more containers later in the week and will hopefully finish the rest by this weekend— just in time, perhaps, to fill up the newly available space with a pan of lasagna!
