Although arguably there is no connection between the meaning of a surname and a coat of arms, the origins as known seem to us unlikely given that a coat of arms of great prominence was granted to the family of Hurtado de Mendoza in circa 1600.
Freezing meat keeps bacteria in a dormant stage. However, once thawed, these bacteria can become active again. Never thaw meat on the counter or let it sit out of the refrigerator for more than two hours. In the summer, reduce this time to 1 hour.
If the meat was previously frozen, these timelines go into effect after the meat is fully defrosted, so if a whole turkey needs three days to thaw, you should cook it within the two days after it has completely thawed.
