DON'T GET SICK FROM LEFTOVERS

If you still have Thanksgiving leftovers in the fridge, it's fine to eat them today and tomorrow, says WebMD.com. But whatever you can't consume in four days needs to be frozen or tossed, the site says. Other tips for avoiding food poisoning this season and all year:

Store leftovers within two hours of cooking.

Use shallow containers, about two inches deep, to store food.
