Round 3: The Night Before

So. It's the night before Thanksgiving. I forgot to flip my turkey this morning before I went to work. (I'm sorry. That sounded like a horribly cheesy Thanksgiving version of a 'flip your lid' joke.) I checked on him after work and I'm not going to lie...he looked and smelled pretty awesome-and this is coming from a girl with no sense of smell. The parents arrived and like a giddy school girl I ran out to my cooler with my mom to show off my project and compare notes (she'd brined 2 turkeys in four days last week). As we added ice to my bird, she looked at him and said "did your turkey have a bowel movement?" Apparently, she just brined her turkey in salt water: salt + water. No spices. The spiced out variety was completely foreign to her. Not my fault. She told me that if I quoted her, she'd deny it. Take it for what you will...apparently, it may or may not be true. Well all (I suppose there are about 5 of you)...I hope you have a fantastic holiday full of good food, plesant company, and many thanks. The more I think about my blessed life, the more I realize exactly how blessed I am. Happy Thanksgiving.
