I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Kevin - Sob. This veggie thing. I'm not going to make it. Half way through the first day and I'm sat thinking about bacon.
According to the play "Naked Girl On The Appian Way" by Richard Greenberg, bacon is the #1 thing that causes vegetarians to relapse. I say.. GO FOR THE BACON.
As for me, being that I have no bacon in the house, and feeling far too lazy to go out and buy bacon. I'm gonna order a bacon pizza for delivery.
Yay for the year of the Pork! YUMMY!
ok, now I gotta catch up on a ton of bitch posts too.
ETA: All these posts about Gus. makes me real sad to be the new guy, having never interacted. Sounds like he was a great guy. :: raises glass to Gus ::

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm altering my diet in the new year just like so many others. Still I don't see the need to give up bacon entirely. I'm for bacon in moderation.

Does anybody know how best to thaw out ground turkey? Is there any trick that I can try, like a microwave or something?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I thaw it in the fridge or microwave. Does your microwave have a defrost by pounds setting? That's all I do. Except usually it has that little piece of plastic stuck to it, and I thaw for a bit, then pull that bit off, then thaw for a bit more.

if you're not sure the setting you can just put it on 50% power but it thaws from the outside so you have to kind of scrape off the stuff that thaws after every couple minutes.
Alternately: if I was making something like chili I would dump the frozen turkey right in the frying pan over low heat and stir & break it up until it was uniformly cooked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've put ground meat right in the pan, too, and defrosted it as I went. I don't know if that's bad for the Danger Zone or whatever, but it works for the microwave-free.
I have not had any pork today, and it looks like I'm not going to. Ah well.

I'm not sure that the microwave has a defrost setting. I suppose I should take it out of the butcher paper?
It's just that I don't generally freeze meat, but I had to throw this in the freezer before I left for Xmas vacation (or it would go over for sure). Now I'd like to shorten the time it takes to unfreeze so I can start making it into Turkey Helper.
It's about 2/3rds of a pound, so we're not talking all that much to wait to unfreeze, but still.
