sort
of chart to get an idea how long something can sit? Examples:Cooked vegetables in the fridge.
Based on personal experience, 5 to 7 days.

Same as above. Cooked meat always has a longer shelf life, providing
your refrigerator is as cold as it should be. Cooked veggies OTOH have a
shorter shelf life.

M&M's frozen salmon (sealed in clear plastic) thawed in the fridge
Raw veggies (and fruits) have variable shelf lives depending on the
veggie. Carrots are good for at least a month raw, brocolli starts to
turn a bit after two weeks, potatoes can last for weeks as do citrus
fruits and apples. Softer fruits like peaches and plums, and
strawberries are good for a week or so, asparagus and softer veggies
such a summer squashes start to go after about a week, as do cucumbers.
Much to my surprise, string beans don't last worth a flip.
Raw meat, MAYBE 3 days if you are lucky! It's best to only thaw meat the
evening before you plan to use it.
HTH?
