“God has given us a revelation in regard to marriage. I did not make it. He has told us certain things pertaining to this matter, and they would like us to tone that principle down and change it and make it applicable to the views of the day. This we cannot do; nor can we interfere with any of the commands of God to meet the persuasions or behests of men. I cannot do it, and will not do it.”

Very clever.

This.

Although I will eat leftover Chinese as long as it's not over 3 days old.

It destroys "all existing doctrine" on the family if we were to treat a gay couple with adopted kids just like a straight couple with adopted kids. You're right. No way that could happen.
...
What the hell difference does it make if a couple is different gender or same gender as far as coming to Church or getting married in the Temple? Not a whit.

You are of course glossing over the fundamental difference: that a straight couple consists of a man and a woman. That--and the teachings on chastity and fidelity that go with it--is the foundational idea of a family in Mormon doctrine, not whether children are biological or adopted.

Normalizing gay marriage and gay sexual relations would turn every teaching about the family on its head.

That type of argument was obviously used with race issues and was unfounded. Societal attitudes change and the "doctrine" is then reinterpreted and reassessed. Elsewhere in society exclusionary attitudes toward gay people were common and fears were obviously totally unfounded. "How could we have a gay teacher? What would that mean for educating our kids?" Nonsense.

Blacks getting the priesthood is the default citation of anyone who wants a church doctrine or policy changed, no matter how poor and/or nonsensical the comparison might be. It's the Godwin's law of Mormon Milquetoast.

So in other words, "Not this."

I like leftovers from a good meal. As you point out, not all things keep equally. While I'm not opposed to good leftovers, I'm past the days of eating leftovers of things I don't like or that aren't/weren't good just so I can save a buck.

Call me mad, but there are some things that actually taste better the next day. My experience with certain kinds of Indian food has been that day two is often better than day one. There are other examples as well, but they don't come to mind immediately.

Shame on Oaks for plagiarizing! That's pretty good but we know from Dieter's talk that JT could have simply made a mistake marrying all those women.

Edit: And why was GQC worth more than Taylor?

Some soups and lasagna fit in this category for me.

Very true. Foods with onion almost always taste better the next day. It seems like tomato-based meals (chili, lasagna, etc.) are often more flavorful as well.

All right, all right. Some leftovers are good.

One of the reasons I don't eat leftovers is that I have teenagers and young adults living at home. All leftovers are cleaned out by the next day at lunchtime. Sometimes my daughter will bring home 8-10 people from HS for lunch and they eat everything in sight.

Here's a basic overview of some of the science behind leftovers.

And it's not just how well various foods keep. It's also about how well they reheat. There are some foods that keep just fine, but microwaving them kills anything good about the dish.

Food with wine. Beef stews, beouf bourguignon, coq au vin, etc.
