Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
Oh yah, for turkey helper just throw it right in the pan.
It's been sitting on the counter for about an hour now -- which I feel sure is too short a time to develop botulism -- so I suppose pan-frying (which would have been its fate anyway) is the next step....
My mom has been warned what kind of containers my porn is in, and can pitch it without looking in the event of my untimely death. If it's anyone else cleaning up my place, I don't care what they see. (Hell, my landlord's welcome to it if any of it suits his taste.)
There's a secret family story about a relative of mine going to clean up the house of a family friend after he died, because his mother didn't know he was a crossdresser. Or gay. She did know he was blind. That's right, a gay, blind, crossdresser.
blind, crossdresser.
That must have made clothes shopping interesting.
I've been catching up from last night, and damn, Gus. Just. Damn. He will be sorely missed. Thanks to those who found some great Gus quotage and posted it.
