About a week ago we added sauteed green onions and mushrooms, as well
as grilled bell peppers and zucchini, to spaghetti sauce (the kind in
a plastic jar).

I was thinking that with no meat, it would still be good, but someone
told me that mushrooms go bad in 2-3 days.

Thoughts? Do I need to toss all that sauce?

Under REFRIGERATION???? (And COOKED?) Unless there's something radically
wrong with your refrigerator, cooked foods are good for at least a week or
two in the 'fridge. ....Heck, I've kept RAW mushrooms that long! (They get
a bit too discouraged looking to use in salad by then, but they're
perfectly fine if you cook them.) People living in temperate climates
used to keep cooked food for several days in their "larders" WITHOUT
refrigeration. Nowadays everyone seems to think even things like honey and
olive oil (which kept for hundreds of years in Egyptian tombs) not only
require refrigeration, but will spoil within a few days, even so. Get
REAL, people!


Eggs were a lot easier to cook when they were kept in a basket of the
counter. Even now, if I'm up early and know I'll be cooking eggs later in
the morning for everyone else, I'll sit the eggs and the bacon out to get to
room temperature.
