Leftovers

There are some dishes that cannot be frozen or should not be kept in the fridge to be used as leftovers the next day.
On the other hand, some types of leftovers can be used for snacks or even meals (i.e.: as part of the packaged lunches prepared for the kids) the next day.

Two dishes that I recently made were a BIG hit and the leftovers were enjoyed for several days.


Hot dogs in a blanket recipe

(I also sautéed some onions mixed with paprika and added them next to the hot dog before rolling up the dough.) 



Smoked Turkey Salad Recipe

Adapted from the recipe that can be reviewed in

(page 56)

1 head of romaine lettuce chopped
1/2 lbs of smoked turkey cut into cubes
1/4 cup of shredded carrots

Dressing for salad
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup mayo
3 cloves of minced garlic
2 fresh chives (green onions) chopped
1 tablespoon of parsley (can be freshly chopped or can substitute dried parsley)
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Put lettuce, turkey and carrots into a bowl.
Place all ingredients for the dressing into another bowl and mix. Cover and refrigerate until served.

Combine salad and dressing. Toss and serve.




Both of these dishes can be enjoyed the day that they are made or can be saved for future use later that week.
Leftovers can help with saving time and effort for other upcoming meals.


When engaged in a Customs compliance project, days continue to pass by as data is reviewed. Whether the project focuses on amendment requirements based on a Customs audit or a project that is benefiting the importer with duty refunds, each need time to review and capture the applicable shipment declarations that may require amendments.
Even Customs in Canada (the Canada Border Services Agency -- CBSA) provides a ninety day window to initiate corrections.

By the time, the data is analyzed and shipment declarations identified, a month or two could have passed where new shipments were declared using erroneous data.

From a Customs compliance perspective, the "leftovers" are those shipments that were declared while the analysis was being done.
To ensure that those "leftover" shipments are also reviewed, it is a best practice to run another report (a "Remainder" report or "Leftover" report) to capture all the newer data.
Another step that can be taken is to ensure that no "leftovers" exist by updating the database used for declaration purposes to reflect the necessary changes based on the audit findings or on the duty recovery project requirements.
Once the database is updated, there is little chance for any "leftovers" (Customs declarations using the old data) to be found.

Data for Customs continues to be accumulated. From a business perspective, it is very rare to stop a supply chain in order to "catch-up" on data analysis and ensure that no "leftovers" exist.
There are ways to mitigate this exposure to non-compliance so that "leftovers" only appear from a cooking perspective and not a Customs perspective.

  Whether it is with Customs or with cooking, one always needs support. To think that someone can do it ALL on their own is unrealistic. Let's look at a compliance department. Not a single individual will be available to respond to issues and emergencies 24/7/365. A team is built (whether it is a team of many or of two) to support each other. Vacations are taken. Family responsibilities need to be attended to. Personal health appointments are scheduled. All these "life issues" come up and require one to be away from their desk. Therefore, there is someone to back them up. Even if it is to defer and deflect until such time that the individual is back, there is usually someone to ensure that, at the very least, there is oversight of what is going on and what the best next steps should be. We can also look at back-up from the perspective of tools. Data is backed-up to ensure that if the primary location cannot be accessed, (see Blog post: https://customsandcooking.blogspot.c...

SOP

I am sure that anyone who asked their grandmother for a recipe was told that you need to put in "a little bit of this and a little bit of that". Then, in order to determine what "this" and "that" was you had to stand over grandma to see exactly what she was doing and take meticulous notes in order to try and replicate the recipe in the future. My favorite example of this was my wife's grandmother's chicken soup. There was no way to get an exact recipe except by watching her add the specific ingredients and spices trying to determine how much to add and when in the process to do so. (The end result was a fabulous chicken soup.)  So when we talk about an SOP, a Standard Operating Procedure , "a little bit of this and a little bit of that" just won't do. For cooking, the SOP is a cookbook. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned cook, the cookbook is your guide. Even the greatest chefs use cookbooks. They may be the authors of those cook...
