Odds and Ends - Miscellaneous items, fragments and remnants, as in I've finished putting everything away, except for a few odds and ends. This expression may have originated as odd ends in the mid-1500s, meaning "short leftovers of some material" (such as lumber or cloth). It had acquired its present form and meaning by the mid-1700s. - The American Heritage® Dictionary of Idioms by Christine Ammer. Copyright © 1997 by The Christine Ammer 1992 Trust.

Leftovers stimulate us to creative solutions ...what can go with what? Almost any vegetable can go into a soup, I've found, and Wendy's chili is the most versatile dish of all. I put it over hard boiled eggs or a baked potato. I even throw wilted lettuce into the chili pot.
Very true! I like your uses of chili.
