I got a nice shoulder of Griff's girlfriend out of the freezer last night to defrost to cook tonight. I have tatties and myriad other veg for a great mid-week roast. Brilliant!
Oh no, eldest is home sick - pifling thing about thunder chucks in the class room - and now I have been requested to make Jewish Mother's Remedy tonight.
So now I have a defrosted shoulder that I don't know what to do with. Friday is fish, so we can't have it before Saturday. Shall I roast it today and do something with the cold-cuts or prepare a re-heated travesty?
Woe, woe and thrice woe.

Do you want a little more whine to go with your dinner?

Why? Would it really be that bad if you had the Fish on Saturday instead?
The Jewish Remedy thing sounds like a bunch of sh*t too. I would just cook the Lamb, tell her it's good for her when she's ill.

It's an observance thing. We eat fish on Fridays and Bacon everyday.

On Tuesday morning I set off for work.
After an hour I'd gone less than 5 miles so turned around, went to a shop and bought a load of bacon, and went home.
I'm just cooking the last of the bacon.
Think I'll have to go back to work tomorrow.

Stick it in the fridge and cook it on Saturday. Unless it was right on the edge before you stuck it in the freezer, raw meat can easily do two days in the fridge before being cooked.

It can really do a lot more than that. In fact, restaurants will often age meat by coating large cuts with oil and storing them in the fridge for a week or so before cutting them and serving or freezing them. It tenderizes the meat, and as long as the temperature is kept decently low, it doesn't spoil.

Most things can do a lot longer than people seem to think, really. I'd say a week for normal cuts of meat that you don't deliberately treat to protect it (like oiling the surface).
