Yeah, but why miss all that work? Why relax when you don't have to?
But honestly, I thought that meat went bad (don't really know what I
mean by that) and was no longer safe to eat. What I'm hearing in here
though, is freezer burn is just cut off and then just cook it without
worry. Well, still got leftovers for tomorrow but Thursday will start
over and maybe I'll try one then.

Tnx to all

Hey, you weren't saving those meatballs for New Years Eve in 1999 were
you? You know, and then just forgot or went out or something...
