In response to the request for information on how long to keep things,
here is my timetable for keeping foods:
food type When to throw away
---- ---- ---- -- ----- ----
porkchops they feel greasy
hamburg 2 stages; the first involves restricting the opening of
the refrigerator. The second stage is when the first
stage doesn't contain the smell; then throw it away.
brocoli Try to balance it in the middle, if both ends dangle
then it isn't good any more.
lettuce gets wet.
boxes of 1 year.
chinese food
ice cream When the box is half empty. (this takes about 3 months.)
carrots When I bring home a package from the store and discover
an unopened package at home.
I hope this helps.
