Our chest freezer somehow came unplugged-what a wonderful discovery to make about 5 minutes before leaving on an overnight "relaxing getaway". The getaway was nice. Having to discard 3 bags worth of unsalvagable food was not so nice. However, the majority of the items were thawed, but still cold. I had two turkey breasts and beef tenderloin that needed to be cooked. I did the turkey breast last night. I basted it in Wegmans basting oil, put it in a cooking bag, and roasted it in my convection oven. I always un-bag the turkey for the last half hour or so, as turkey that is not brown does not look as appealing to me (we all have our differences!) It was delicious, though!
Tonight, I will be making the tenderloin, probably in the same way described in the previous post. Should be yummy! In a way, having my freezer un-freeze will be a great way to force me to cook well!
