You be the judge: should my sister eat the meals I batch-cook and freeze for us?

Jing doesn’t go along with Lian’s batch-cooking policy and likes only freshly cooked food. Is she being unreasonable? You decide whose argument will end up in the bin. Find out how to get a disagreement settled or become a juror. Jing doesn’t want to eat the same thing twice in a week. It’s ridiculous to waste food.

My little sister Jing and I live together in an apartment owned by our parents. I work in finance, while Jing is doing her master’s. We split some of the cooking duties, but in reality I end up doing most of it. However, I can’t stand the way Jing wastes food.
If I cook a big meal, I’ll freeze some of it in plastic containers and eat it over the week. I tell Jing she should defrost a portion when I’m not around and she needs something quick – that’s what I do. But the containers just sit in the freezer unless I eat them. Jing refuses to eat defrosted leftovers. And if she cooks something herself, like chicken with rice or pasta, she won’t freeze the leftovers. She says food doesn’t taste the same after it’s been frozen.
She also says: “I don’t want to eat the same thing twice in a week”, and leaves me to finish it all. It’s as though once she’s eaten a meal, there’s no way she can have it again, and has to make something different. I’m always finding little bits of food in the fridge she has forgotten to eat, like cheese rinds or the last slice of a loaf.
