If it's meat it goes in the fridge and someone will eat it next day.
We very rarely have leftover vegies - I tend to dish them all onto the
plates and save a little of the meat from the meal if the plates seem
too full, rather than putting the extra vegies into the fridge. That's
because nobody around here seems to remember to EAT them unless
there's meat to go with them! Soups, stews etc get saved if there is
more than one bowlful (lunch next day) as long as they are only on
their first time around. I don't save ANYTHING a second time unless
it's been totally recooked and turned into a whole new dish, because I
don't think that just reheating it will guarantee germfreeness a
second time.

Not all leftovers get eaten of course. Once it gets down to half a
bowl it might sit in the fridge until I get rid of the science
experiments... if it's more than one serve we make the effort to use
it for lunch or even breakfast.
