Food Preparation Question

[queenbookwench]

If I put some chicken breasts in the freezer in November, is it safe to thaw them out now and cook them?

Also, whoever came up with the idea of wrapping scallops in bacon was pure genius.

Recent culinary discovery: I've always thought of Cream of Wheat as a breakfast food, something to be covered with strawberries and maple syrup.

But just recently, I realized that if you season it with salt and pepper, and cover it with say, bacon-wrapped scallops, it tastes not unlike a poor man's shrimp and grits. I will be remembering this for future reference.

As long as they weren't thawed in the meantime and refrozen, they should be fine.

Thanks! Always good to know that I can still rely on the collective wisdom of the 'House. :) And that there are people out there with more culinary knowledge than me.

Oh, I don't know about more culinary knowledge -- but I often leave things in the freezer for a few months before I use 'em.

Yes. If they're freezer-burned you might not want to, but it's safe.

Thanks! I may yet toss'em if they look freezer-burned; I've recently embraced the concept of advance menu planning (after only, what, five years living on my own) but I think I may have tried to plan a bit too far in advance that time.
