Most of us were up early -- 6:00 or 6:30 -- for Dennis this is a result of living in a different time zone -- for me it's because me new job has me up early -- but early is good. I sent Nick from the couch to my bed to sleep -- but he declined and got up to start helping.
We got the breakfast casserole in the oven and then brought the TURKEY up so we could get t he brine process started. This year I used the lobster pot -- lined with two oven roasting bags. We plopped the turkey in and made the brine in batches. Then it was back to the downstairs frig for Mr. Turkey.
We sat down to to breakfast about 8:00am, all except for Miranda, we agreed she could use the extra sleep. She was actually awake about a half an hour later, just as we were finishing.
We have discussed a movie for today -- but no one it too excited about it. So I think we will just make some of our side dished for tomorrow, today and enjoying hanging out together -- we will see.
That's all for now -- more later...
Gwen -- I would be happy to share the brining recipe / method. I have been doing this for 4 years and my turkeys have never been better!!
