Mohn in the midbar (and it was kinda clear BPT was speaking tongue in cheek) was not an idea of leftovers, it was the idea that the person who kept leftovers did not have the emunah that Hashem would provide mohn for the next day. Since contrary to popular opinion, my huband and I are not gods, we definitely do not allow the throwing out of perfectly good food that was left over from Shabbos. And if you want to say that the kedusha of Shabbos makes it wrong to eat on a vohedig day, well I see it just fahrkert – that this is bringing the kedusha of Shabbos INTO the weekday (and don’t we do that anyway in davening every morning when we say “Hayom Yom Rishon (etc. ) ba’SHABBOS, shehbo hayu haleviyim….” we don’t say b’shavua. we bring a little of Shabbos into the week. We plan all week for what we will cook and shop for for Shabbos. I think it’s great to think of leftovers in that way. Just one lady’s opinion.
