but only ONCE
And it generally seemed like a good idea at the time. Until you try it!...
ONCE!
Mousey guts all over the inside of the microwave are NOT easy to explain to your housemates!

Maybe some enlightening on this---------I read on a post somewhere that thawing quickly is preferable to slow because taking too long the food is decaying at a rapid rate.????

Kriminaal, it's the eternal problem. Doing it quickly prevents that decaying but the methods used will be as harmful (or even more) than the "damage" of doing it slowly.
Try this: pick 2 frozen stakes, take one out of the freezer and let it thaw "naturally" and just before it's done, take another one out and thaw it in your microwave. Grill both and eat them.

LOL Mike!! When you think a snake feeding thread cannot go any lower than people comparing soggy rodents to exploded ones, someone proves you wrong! =)
I wish Rich would create a special "classification" for these threads, then I could tick a box and everything bellow "wet rats" would be ignored

Seriously! Everyday I don't see threads involving Pinkie Press syringes or sex probes, I give thanks!
