Does temperature affect plants?

Maybe if you have a huge family and don't keep leftovers it would be better.
Why would you have "leftovers" at all? Don't prepare meals that are too large to be eaten. Macrotastics computes the optimal meal for eating anyway.

I have my Sims make a full meal, even if they're the only ones eating. Then I put all the left-overs in the fridge - including half-eaten food (with garden-enhanced food, they're almost always "full" before they finish). I'll even select "grab plate" and cancel it out when they reach the table before they sit down and have them put away the individual plates (so they don't have to take out the whole platter and let it sit and maybe go bad).
The reason? This is great for pregnant women and kids (especially). For mom-to-be, it's always a race to get her fed before she falls asleep in her food (it seems), and left-overs are the quickest thing next to snacks. And kids can't cook - but they can get a full meal without parental support from left-overs. Some of the high-end meals - with garden goodness added - are SO enhanced that sims can get THREE half-full-need meals out of a single plate!
The first good harvest will fill up the fridge for almost a life-time. After that, I have the kids (as they come along) tend until they're gold, and give them part of the harvest so that they have something to start out on. I haven't had to buy food/refill fridge since I started playing Seasons. Add a $20 fishing hole on any lot, and you're set for life!

Withacy, I just cook up a couple of platters (using a single click of "make many ...", then turning on power idle after I have sufficient platters made - as queueing up power idle will stop them make any more after the current platter) the first day a sim is pregnant before they bump, and stick them in the sim's inventory.
I use Macrotastics anyway, and macrotastics will handle getting platters out of a household member's inventory, grabbing a plate, and sticking the platter back in.
Seems much easier to me than having to "select "grab plate" and cancel it out when they reach the table before they sit down and have them put away the individual plates", or dealing with left-over menus.
I've found that in a house with a lot of snapdragons, sims don't need to eat that much anyway. I used to put snapdragons everywhere in a house, and a single platter would last several generations in inventory. I've since found that just putting snapdragons in the bedrooms, nursery, and near the crafting stations works well for me.

Some research is currently being conducted comparing the relative merits of chain-watering vs. talk to, as I have the suspicious feeling that Talking To is actually slower than drowning-for-health.
Just wondering if any results have been found... talking to vs. chain-watering -which is faster and/ or more effective?

I love that you can talk a tree/plant into mouthwatering AFTER the fruit has set! Just one more reason why Sim World is better than Real World. ;D
