My parents called me tonight to tell me that they may or may not launch a suprise attack on Thanksgiving. (I'll bet they don't believe that I'm actually cooking the turkey this year either.) I've got all the necessities for the brine: kosher salt, coriander, peppercorn, mustard, bay leaves...it's gonna be FABULOUS. Tonight's plan? One large cooler + two brick of ice + one previously mentioned turkey + random assortment of spices, salts, and sugars.
*Three hours later...
Well, the suprise attack may be a surplus of thyme. That's what I get for measuring over my pan of boiling water. You can't really take it out once it hits the water. To be completely honest, the house smells AWESOME. We'll just see how the turkey does after his salt bath.
