Ok, so I work at a Wendys one day a week. I just got off shift, and we close at 1am. At 12am I put a whole bunch of patties down on the grill, so I could start cleaning it by 12:30, and be done by 1am. That way I can walk out the door.

Well…usually we have a rush at 12:40-12:59. Except tonight we didn’t.

At 1am, I still had 15 big patties, and 15 junior patties. We’re supposed to chop them up into chilli meat, but I said fuck that. This massive billionaire corporation won’t even let us take home the food we’re going to throw out anyways. So I said fuck them, and took roughly 30 patties that they weren’t going to throw out.

Now I’m at home with a dilemma. I’m not going to eat 30 patties in a week. So I put the small patties in 2 ziplock bags, and the big patties into 2 other ziplock bags. I put them in the fridge, but I’m wondering. Should I just put 3 of those bags in the freezer, and leave 1 in the fridge to eat throughout the week? Will the freezer bags have any issues? The meat is already cooked. I’d essentially just need to take out a bag, put it in the fridge, and by the next day I could put it in the microwave for a minute.

Is there any issue with doing that?

    yea, you can freeze it. i’d do something like 2 big or 4 juniors per sandwich bag, then put those bags into a couple larger gallon size bags. pull out one of the small bags at a time to thaw in the fridge.

    back in the before times, when i could afford beef, i’d do 3-5 lbs at a time that way. now i just get 'em every now and then from my boss when they cook a few extra on the grill and she brings me a couple (home raised, the very good stuff). and yea, they’re often frozen when i get 'em from her, too.

    i do always make sure i get the cooked frozen beef back up to temp.

      Ok everybody, idea time. Why don’t we all do like a gofundme kinda thing for this guy? We could all chip in like $5. The lemmy has like 60k people on it…and if we all chipped in $5…

      Hey, new idea, let’s do a gofundme for me! 60k people? $5 each? Don’t worry Adarza, I’m gonna buy you some beef! And then myself a house.
