Wonderful. The grinder will not get here until tomorrow. It was delayed due to weather - sleet and snow. I guess my cats will be introduced to chunks sooner than I expected. I still have some canned, but if I keep using it, I will run out before the grinder comes. Thawing two chicken breasts and will probably end up thawing out the ground elk, too, just in case. It's flash-frozen stuff I got at Sprouts, so I'm pretty sure it would be safe. Beef cheek and pork roast are not items I want to try cut up that small - my wrist starts to hurt after about five minutes of that. I may give some to the dogs, though. I think they will eat larger pieces.
