How long can you leave meat in the refrigerator? I had some ground beef in the fridge for a week when I was at my mom's house. I came home and put it in the freezer. Is it okay to thaw and use, or should I throw it out? I also had some turkey sausage in the same boat. Thoughts?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't know what's actually recommended, in terms of hygiene, but I would totally eat that food, Vortex. And I haven't died of food poisoning yet.

Nor have I. I just cooked some ground chicken on Saturday whose sell-by date was September 7.

This is always my response. IMO, it is pretty obvious when meat has gone bad.

cool. I thought it was fine, but I usually cook/eat within a few days, so I thought I'd check with the hivemind.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I looked it up on the "Food Storage Timetable" that I never actually look at for my own food, and it has a limit of 1-2 days for ground meat in the fridge. FWTW

I'll just cook the shit out of it. It's not like I was planning on making rare burgers or anything.

"Cook the hell out of it" was going to be my advice, but then I had to go and cite a source.
