Treat your fridge like a cozy inn, not a museum. Meatballs are guests that overstay their welcome after day four. Make them, enjoy them, and let them go. If you freeze them, you can have a little reunion whenever you miss them.
So next time you open that fridge and see a lonely container, check the date. If it’s day three, you’re in the clear—heat them up with some extra sauce and enjoy. If it’s day five? Give them a little funeral in the trash. Your stomach will thank you, and you’ll live to make another batch of perfect, happy meatballs. Now go eat something good—and safe.
