    We have a yogurt in the fridge from 2010 - our "lucky" yogurt we'd put out on the counter during the World Series (go Giants!). Yes, we put it out again during the 2012 and 2014 WS. Who knows what it looks like inside? If we ate it we would die.

    Leftovers - love 'em. Stuffing the next day - yum. We found a recipe for pulled turkey and we did that a couple days after Christmas. You put leftover cranberry sauce on top. Delicious.

    Made me hungry too!!!

    I have a ton of leftovers in my fridge. I don't fuck with the expiration dates though. I mean if it doesn't look or smell off and it's only a couple days passed the that's fine but month+ old yogurt? I wouldn't. I do get ImAlive's point tho - I've got an unopened jar of pickles in the fridge that expired Oct 2014. I mean, they're pickles. I haven't opened it yet but I'm not really expecting to have to throw it out.

    I made split pea + ham (roast pork actually) soup from christmas leftovers
    And Cream of Chicken/Rice/Bean soup to use up the insane amount of rice I made for Christmas.

    I've also got a serving of pasta in there.

    I WANT PAELLA!!!!!!!! Gimme :)

    I love leftovers too. Soup is best on the second day, same goes for sauerkraut or red cabbage. Even my bread is perfect when fresh out of the oben, but then again two days after baking. Pizza depends for me. I usually like cold pizza too, but only if there is not a ton of cheese on there.

    I cook to purposely have leftovers. I agree with others. It is kind of a time saver. My daughter and I made homemade sausage, vegetable and orzo soup on Thursday during the great calamity day off. (It was too cold to be educated.) We just finished that up for dinner tonight.

    Susan, Day 2 lasagna is always better. The noodles absorb the sauce better and I find that it sticks more solidly together. I am not a fan of slippery lasagna.

    Scott, In my house, pizza day 2 counts as leftovers but is quite yummy. Reheating not necessary.

    OP, You must have an iron stomach. If I ate the things you did with the expiration dates you did, I'm afraid that I would be violently ill. Whatever takes you where you need to go though. I admit that leftovers in my house get a 3 day rule. Anything over that gets pitched. If you lived closer, I wouldn't waste them and would just pass them on to you.

    damn! I would love to have your leftovers. I have no "3 day rule" at all....fuzzy mold, slimy "oil slick" look, wrong smell are the only things to deter me....and sometimes mold can be cut/scraped off. :-$

    Mold on cheese, yes. Maybe mold on bread, but I've never done that one. But again, hey-- whatever you want to eat.

    Mail innovations? If it wasn't moldy when it went in, it would most definitely be moldy once it was pulled back out of the package! imalive would still be good with it either way! :)

    I won't touch anything with mold on it, but I know that expiration dates are not always meaning that the stuff is bad. As long as it smells good and there is no mold, I am fine. My bread usually holds up for two weeks. Without any added preservatives. Sometimes I store it in the fridge for the last couple of days.

    I knew an old lady who grew up in war times and she would keep everything. We were always hoping she would not bring out the chocolate when we visited her, cause it was always covered in that fog... I don't think a tiny bit of mold can harm you, it just doesn't taste good.

    Leftover chicken legs are the best. Straight out of the fridge, no warming required.

    My wife routinely makes enough for 3 dinners when she cooks, which is not very frequent enough sadly. One meal day 1, another meal in the fridge for later in the week and 1 in the freezer for a later date. She also tries to tell me eggs are good for 3 weeks past the date on the carton.

    You test eggs by putting them in water to see if they float. Just like milk expiration, egg expiration is not necessarily on the date posted. If the eggs float, they are bad and toss them. If they remain at the bottom of your test container, even if they are "standing," they are fine. 3 weeks after is a big stretch though. She hasn't killed you with bad eggs yet, so she knows what she's doing!

    so....if an egg is "bad" (i.e. a bad egg buwhahahahaa!) what are your clues after you crack it open? stench? different consistency?

    please let me know....even tho I'd probably eat them anyway....they might just need a little extra hot sauce.
