[Feature]: Add stash(fridge)

[dobrowolski-lukasz]

What feature would you like to see?

Add "stash" for dishes that have been cooked but not yet eaten.
Preferably the stash(fridge) would automatically create "anonymous"(in the same sense as anonymous functions in programming) dishes.

It would be great if the app would keep track of amounts too. Eg I cooked whole pizza and put it into stash(fridge). Dragging and dropping the pizza to a meal would ask me how much I ate(eg half) and keep the other half in the stash.

I think it might be a good idea to have two "stashes" as some food can be good for weeks in a freezer while most of the "traffic" would be short term. Representing keeping dishes in a fridge.

What problem does this feature solve?

To be more efficient one can cook multiple servings of food into a fridge/freezer and eat them in the future.
Often those meals aren't from regular recipe/are modified.
Right now I have to write down somewhere/remember it.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Right now I just set the food as eaten in a future day. This is however very inconvenient as they can't be dragged and dropped and have to be added and deleted.

Additional context

I think this is a major feature and requires a decent amount of UX but I think it would make the app closer to how cooking/eating works when one cooks.

Also I think this feature should be gated by a setting so that those who don't use it can disable it.

Why not infinite stashes? Ironically, a shopping list could be a stash where you just throw bought food into the "fridge" stash #309 😆 For now, it seems like a complicated feature, but I might come back to it later

I think the best approach would be to make it similarly configurable as meals. Letting the user to add as many stashes as they need would support wider range of use cases (I can imagine user that has two homes and hence would like to have 2 fridges and 2 freezer stashes). And option to give stashes custom names would make it easier to align with the workflow of the user.

I think this feature would make the app much better as it would alleviate pita inherent to imputing data into the app.

Thanks for making this app BTW.
