if my kitchen were kosher, i'd know for sure
How to tell that meat in your freezer has been in there way too long -- part one of, thank goodness, one. (There is nothing more buried under and behind other stuff in my freezer.)
It is not, you may be impressed to hear, because it is freezer burnt beyond recognition. When I bought it, whatever it is, I separated it into single units and double-wrapped them in freezer bags, so while it was frozen absolutely solid and encrusted with plenty of ice, it's still meat, and not freezer-charcoal. No worries.
No, the way to tell the meat was in the freezer too long is this: you've got it defrosted and out of its double-wrapping, on the cutting board, and in fact halfway cut up into cubes before you're completely confident it's a chicken breast and not a pork chop.
This may actually be a sign that I don't spend enough time in my kitchen, rather than that the meat was in the freezer too long. Or, I begin to suspect, both. :-) In any event, the cubes are in a skillet now with some brown sugar and chili powder, and there will be some rice and peanut sauce eventually, so you see,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sanj, I can in fact feed myself. Sometimes. :-)
(Of course, if my kitchen were kosher, I'd be a sufficiently different person that the issue would probably never come up.)
