We eat leftovers until they start to seem icky (by smell, appearance,
etc.).

Our in-house term for a leftover that's well past its prime is "biology
experiment," something that happens if a leftover gets forgotten about
in the back of the 'frig, which does happen from time to time.

Waste not, want not.

And if you're worried it won't taste as good as when new, reseason or
otherwise reinvent, e.g., I had leftover cheese ravoili for dinner a
couple of nights ago - I fried them on the stove top (sauteed, if you
prefer) in olive oil and garlic, added some leftover carmelized onions
from another container in the 'frig, seasoned with salt, pepper, and
oregano, and added some tomatoe sauce and grated cheese at the very end.
It was _delicious_.
