I don't think so. I use it when I am assuming the person knows that part of it. Like when you asked about your shrimp and pasta dish, I could have answered, "yes it will be OK after two days. As long as it was refrigerated, of course." The "of course" assumes that you and I know that it must be refrigerated, but I am putting it in just in case someone else reads it and doesn't assume the refrigerated part.

maybe
sadly common sense today seems to be an oxymoron
doesn't make sense to the general public and definitely not common

No, in the context that you seem to be thinking of, it would mean "it's obvious". Common sense generally means unformalized learning.

I guess it could be, although I think that when someone says "of course" I think that they are assuming that you already knew the response.

I think to say 'certainly' or 'sure' would sound better.
