i have a 454 g slab of bison meat that's been in the freezer since july 9th. at around 20:30 last night, i put it in a sealable plastic bag that was initially used to package ground cumin and put the bag in a tupperware container and put it in the fridge, with the intent of breaking it into nine 50 g portions, each placed in a used single use apple sauce container and a sandwich bag, and put back in the freezer.

i don't know much about this because i very rarely (like, never) cook with raw meat. the little meat i eat is always something precooked or pre-pepared, liked salami or chicken balls. they gave me this slab of what is basically bison hamburger. i'd have never have bought this. but my understanding is that i don't want to let this thaw too much, or it becomes a food poisoning risk. i want to wait until it's just soft enough to break into portions and put it right back in the freezer, then take it back out one at a time as i need it.

they also gave me a pile of chicken breast, but i shouldn't have to portion it like this, i can just take out what i need to when i need it.

unfortunately, it's still frozen harder than arnold palmer upon noticing that he's being eyed by donald trump. it's not going to thaw by 6:00 am, which is when i need to clean up, at the latest.

so, i'm going to need to put the bison meat off for a few days, then. in addition to the chicken breasts, they also gave me some pre-cooked battered chicken. it smells like kfc, and it might be, although there's a number of kfc-like competitors recently, and i couldn't tell the difference. i can't remember the last time i ate something at kfc and i don't think i've ever eaten at popeye's or any of the other more recent chicken joints.

i'm going to need to go with a couple of chopped pieces of that, instead.
