Help! Need suggestions on correcting an act of sheer stupidity

So...this would be a good reason NOT to get up at 5:00 am, drive to Orlando, work all day, then drive back 70 miles to physical therapy where a 290 lb therapist manipulates my Greater Tuberosity until it feels like it's getting ripped out of the socket...then stopping at the butchers to buy something, anything for dinner and buying 10 POUNDS of boneless/skinless chicken breasts because--what a deal, only $1.78 a pound, but in 10 pound bags only, then getting home and shoving the entire bag in the freezer and instead, eating Lean Cuisine YET again.

Now I have one frozen Mass-O'Meat and there's only the two of us and can anyone tell me how to separate these buggers safely so the majority can go BACK into the freezer and I can cook 2 of them instead of eating a 10 lb chicken popsicle?

Thank you.

 
Marilyn, do you have a band saw?

I'm picturing 10 slices of "Mass-O'Meat".

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Other than that, I really don't know of a way to separate the now-frozen-together chicken breasts.

 
I have had good luck taking the thing down to the basement...

into the utility room where we have a concrete floor, and hurling the thing repeatedly at great force at the floor, until all the bits are broken up. Works wonderfully. :eek:)

If you don't have a basement, the garage floor works equally well.

 
When we were sorting frozen meat at the food bank - that is what we did

we just kept slamming it against the concrete floor until we got the packages and such separated.

 
Garage floor it is...I'll report back. Judy, Larry suggested taking the meat back to the butcher

and having him bandsaw it into slices!

We used to have a band saw...the only thing I cut with it was some frozen Alaskan salmon a neighbor brought home from vacation. I was SO afraid of cutting myself that I sold it that summer, virtually unused for the wood projects I bought it for originally.

Thanks, everyone, for your help!!

 
I can't wait to hear how this works out.... the images are priceless... '-))) watch your shoulder

 
...and we have VICTORY! Garage Floor 1: Frozen Stupidity 0

Plus it was a good workout for my shoulder, hefting 10 pounds over my head and slamming it down...over and over and over again. Plus I'm pretty sure it's been tenderized (the chicken, not my shoulder).

It's a Win, Win, Win today. Thanks again!!!

Back to GBH, The Sequel. Pattern measurements have been adjusted for all the tweaks made last year and dough will be next.

 
So glad you had success. I have used the cold water in the sink method, and then peel away the

defrosted bits on the outer edges from time to time, putting the frozen center back in the freezer.

 
Oh, I just can't WAIT to hear about this year's GBH (gingerbread house for the newbies)

If you want to laugh until tears are coming down your face, just go up to the 'search' and search on keyword:GBH

I strongly agree but I think it needs to be posted

chronologically by date under #7 (humorous posts). What do others think?

I also saved a search at home for some of Mar's masterpieces but never finished the project and don't know when I will.
