Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What is the medicinal use of ginger ale? Counteracting nausea?

To make the vodka less strong.

Don't taunt me with the Bailey and the Burke viewing I can't participate in yet, Sumi. Sad making.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm drinking ginger ale right now, AIFG!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Eh, electric or Lori, a dishwasher is a dishwasher... And I actually just finished up mine so it would only be what I dirty up making a fabulous dinner. Blasted that LA is too far from me because I really like making dinner for people, especially at their house. It's fun.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Catalina peeps, I'm telling you that there's not much to do except walk the beach, dive, kayak, swim. So expect the mellow.

I like the mellow. (or, what sarameg said)

Your tag here.

turkey that needs to be thawed and brined

Kat, Alton Brown on Good Eats brined a turkey. I think the explanation was that it made the meat more moist. Do you find this is true? I've never had a brined turkey.

Yes. Brining is the WAY to go. Brine, then spice rub then cook at super high heat for a fraction of the usual time.

Brining meat in general makes it all good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We brined our last few turkeys, and OHMYGAWD is it better. Moister and more flavorful.

Though the difficulty with brining a large turkey is finding a container to brine in and space in the fridge to keep it cool for the time needed to brine.
