Second-hand kielbasa

I hate to waste food.  
Yesterday I made kielbasa and cabbage, since I have an abundance of cabbage this year.  The recipe was almost the same as the way I cook kraut, so I figured I'd like it.  Unfortunately, I didn't care for it much, although I went ahead and ate some for dinner.  So did Cliff.  I placed what remained in a container and put it in the refrigerator, but I was pretty sure I'd end up tossing it.  We have lots of cabbage, as I said; so I wasn't going to regret throwing that away.  But that kielbasa was really good, so I figured if nothing else, I'd pick it out of the cabbage and eat it.  
Today I picked a nice little mess of green beans and remembered the kielbasa, all cut up in yesterday's cabbage.  I picked out the pieces and put them in the green beans and potatoes cooking on the stove.  It's the first time I've ever recycled kielbasa.  I remember jokes about people being so poor they borrowed a used soup bone from the neighbors, but I never heard about using kielbasa twice.  
There's a first time for everything.  
Oh, the cabbage I pulled the kielbasa from?  I put it back in the refrigerator.  It'll be easier to throw away when it's nice and rotten.  (I kid, I kid.  I thought maybe I'd eat it tonight.)
