lamb frozen twice

JWBH said:

cooked some lamb and then froze it. later thawed it out and put it into a
curry. could not eat all the curry so we froze the curry (including the
lamb in it).

so the lamb has been frozen twice. did we do wrong?

No.

Even the USDA says it's OK to refreeze - even chicken. Especially
if it's been cooked since it's last thaw.

so the lamb has been frozen twice. did we do wrong? i know they say so
dont freeze things more than once, but is'nt that advice more for
restaurants so that they dont lose track of stuff and keep refreezing over
and over again? the food was not left uncovered at any time so is it
fairly safe. thanks for any advice.

Freezing things twice is perfectly OK in terms of safety, although it
probably decreases quality.

Stop worrying unless you let the lamb go for too many days before you
froze it - so enjoy.
