About three weeks ago, a new brownie shop near us was having a deal. Buy two, get one free. I put the third frozen brownie in my office freezer (a mini-fridge freezer, not a full freezer), intending to eat it the next day, then completely forgot about it until just now.
It’s currently sitting on my desk cooling off after a 30-second defrosting stint in my microwave. It smells good. Should I eat it?
For that matter, it’s entirely possible the thing would have been safe to eat (albeit stale) after three weeks in a dry cupboard without freezing at all.
Three weeks in the freezer? I’d eat it after three weeks in the fridge. Hell, I’d eat it after three weeks on the counter if it wasn’t moldy. This is all hypothetical, of course, because I don’t think a brownie’s ever made it to three weeks around here.
That reminds me of the time I sent my brother’s family a box of live lobsters for Christmas. They cooked them and ate them the same day. A week later he called and asked if it was safe to eat the leftover lobster meat.
Thanks for the reminder…and the recommendation. I work a couple of blocks from their downtown location. I’ll walk off the calories walking there and back, right?
ETA: Forgot to answer your question: definitely eat it.
