Thanks to a bark collar on Pepper -- we were all able to sleep past 6:30!! I woke around 7:45 -- and got working on getting the topping made for the french toast casserole. We popped that into the oven and got dished from yesterday put away.
The casserole smelled heavenly and looked beautiful when it emerged from the oven. There were varying reviews on the actual taste. Dennis enjoyed it -- likened it to bread pudding. Terry and Nick both thought the bread was somewhat too soggy. Next time maybe less bread -- less egg/milk mixture and more topping. But all in all it was very enjoyable and a nice addition to our breakfast choices.
Next it was time to get that turkey into the brine. This year I put the oven bags into the stock pot then the turkey into the oven bags. The I prepared the brine in smaller batches and poured it into the stock pot. This year there were no holes -- yet -- so hopefully that was a good method -- time will tell.
Now time for a short rest before the remainder of the day -- Miranda has left for school.
