This is me, doing something that I'm not especially proud of. Any guesses? Yep, I'm tentatively sniffing the god-knows-how-old contents of a tupperware container. I think this particular container held the remains of a chorizo and tofu scramble (yes, it doesn't make sense, but damn if that wasn't a tasty scramble). But how long does chorizo and tofu stay good in the fridge? Can I safely nibble, or is it better to let these leftovers go?

The answer to these (and many other leftover-related) questions can be found at Still Tasty, a website designed to tell you how to store it, and -- perhaps more importantly -- when to not eat it.

Here's how it works:

From the main page, you can either type in a food or beverage, or select from a wide variety of food categories. I typed in chorizo, and found this:

Not only does the site tell me how to store my chorizo, it estimates how long I should keep it in the fridge. The good news? The chorizo part of my tupperware scramble should be tasty for another week. The bad news? Tofu should only stay in the fridge for five days after it's opened. Yikes. 

Never again will I fear my tupperware! Now I just have to work on learning how to properly cook the things that go into that tupperware...
