If I have to grind it up I'll season the meat throughout before and after I grind it up and then I'll try and cut the meat with good ground beef that hasn't been seasoned when I make tacos. I think. This, honestly is a new area for me. I used to just throw meat that looked this bad away (which might still have to happen), but I really want to try and salvage it. So, I'm going to see how bad the meat is and let it "speak to me" about what it needs, if that makes sense :).Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-44206566581419400562016-02-18T07:41:21.761-09:002016-02-18T07:41:21.761-09:00She's going to be nine, or as she puts it, &qu...She's going to be nine, or as she puts it, "I'll be nearly 18, mom!" *Laugh*Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-11525076519694068002016-02-18T03:58:51.461-09:002016-02-18T03:58:51.461-09:00It's funny you mentioned making chicken tacos ...It's funny you mentioned making chicken tacos out of your old chicken -- I found some hamburger patties from 2014 in my freezer and we have some white meat turkey burgers that are kind of gross so my plan is to thaw them out and make tacos. Figuring that the seasoning and accompaniments will help mask any less than prime flavors. ;-) Will you grind the chicken or do you just chop it up? Or even cook it whole...I'm curious about your process.
