i've completed splitting my ground bison into 50 g (ish) chunks. it wasn't too messy.

- i had 12 single use apple sauce containers and a number of sandwich bags. i needed 9 of each. i put these on the counter beside a food scale i use daily. the containers were about 5 g.
- the bison was in a shrink wrap package, in a sealable cumin bag, in a tupperware container, in the fridge. i took this out and put it in the sink
- i put on latex gloves
- i opened the sealable bag, took the bison out and opened it with a pair of scissors.
- i then moved over 50 g of meat into each of the containers using my gloved hands and put them aside on the counter.
- when i was done, i took the gloves off and put them in the sealable bag and put it in the freezer. that will be a garbage bag over the next few weeks.
- i put each of the apple sauce containers in a sandwich bag and put each one in the freezer, except one, which i put at the back of the fridge
- my hands were not bloody or dirty at all, but i did wash over everything with anti-bacterial soap and then lysoled the counter. i'm going to do dishes shortly.

i was going to have quinoa tonight, but i don't want to leave this in the back of the fridge, so i'm having pasta again tonight and quinoa tomorrow. i will eventually run out of quinoa and move to the lentils.

this is nine 50 gram servings, so it's going to take me a few weeks to get through it. it looks to me like i'll want to take each cup out the night before and give it around 20 hoursish to thaw.

i'm just going to fry it up like i would the salami. bison is supposed to be "lean", but i don't even know what that means. i hope it's not too chewy. it doesn't look like it would be.
