Chef, do you have a guide for how many days different meats are good when kept in the refrigerator? Sometimes if I roast a big chicken, I find it approaching one week that I still have it as leftovers. Generally, I will put it outside for the cats and raccoons and hopefully not kill them.
Julie – here’s a comprehensive refrigerator and freezer storage chart. I’ve eaten food older than their limits, but it’s better to be on the safe side, of course. Especially if your immune system is down due to a flu, or something you might not even be aware of.

Wow, that is a cool chart Chef!
Did you happen to notice that cabbage is listed as good for one week in the refrigerator? I would think the ’smell’ might give that one away. 
I plan to make your tres leches coconut macaroons…how can i keep them fresh longer or at all? My dinner party is on Saturday so I must make them before…but will they be fresh still? How not to make them too hard? Will using low fat condensed milk change the taste or texture? Sorry for the many questions…
Thanks for any advice
Best,
Jfu
I’m happy to answer your questions, Jennice.
Low fat condensed milk will be just fine. Bake the macs to a light golden brown, on top and bottom, and they will be softer than darker brown cookies. Remember that there are no ingredients that must be cooked (like eggs), so the degree of browning is totally up to your preference. After baking and cooling, wrap the macs airtight with plastic film, on a pan or individually, and they’ll stay relatively fresh for 3-4 weeks. The outside begins to get a bit dry, after a week or so. Good luck!
