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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Rome made me cry. Even though it made me cringe because OMG the blood! The reckless decapitation and amputations! But Vorenus and Pullo have such a beautiful love! A. Beautiful. Love! [/Buffy]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's supposed to ease nausea, sumi.

I am out of milk and I need milk to make banana bread. it's too late and I am too lazy to go get it now. I'll bet a million dolllars I also cannot motivate myself to get up early and go get it then.

Alton put the bird in a 5 gallon pail with ice in the brine solution. He said to leave it in a spare corner of the kitchen or garage if it's cool.

Ah-ha, here's the recipe: [link] .

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You need milk to make banana bread? I'm pretty sure my recipe has none.
