Assuming I'm sober, it'll be hot smoked trout for a starter, rib eye fillet for main, and lemon tart for dessert, with gallons of Rioja and a whiskey finish.

Bought a frozen turkey yesterday, and left it by an open fire to defrost overnight
But this morning it's still mostly frozen solid - Looks like I won't be having my Christmas dinner until about the 28th
Unless I just roast it anyway, and then slice the meat off from the outside until I reach the still frozen core
OH in "wondering if the microwave might be any good for defrosting without drying the thing to a crisp" modeWork in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

If you want to speed up defrosting meat put in pan, bowl or sink of COLD water.
