he just thinks it's more work and not worth it.
He's wrong! Brining is where it's at.
I'm curious as to why the urge particularly comes upon you while mating.
Lizards are sexy. Duh.
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

FYI to all, there was a no-knead bread recipe in last week's Times, which should still be free online. I made the recipe this weekend, and it yielded one good loaf, with a strong crust and good soft insides with lots of holes. Very European.
The hitch is, you don't have to knead because you leave it alone to rise for 18 hours. And it's just flour, water, salt and yeast -- I could have added in raisins or something later on I guess, but no sugar, no egg, no butter. It was a little weird, but still: good bread.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
We've got multiple local boutique bakeries that distribute to stores, and they're all freakin' tasty.
Or, you can do like I do and wander down to one of the three bakeries within a block of my apartment. Mmmmm, fresh Italian bread.... I don't even bother making foccace any more, and I used to make it all the time.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm in charge of the turkey, so we'll brine. I think he may just be disgruntled since I'm not allowing him to deep fry. I like the taste of deep fried, but I don't want to have to buy the kit or risk the chance of my house burning down.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
DH is resisting the turkey brine.
I'm picturing you stuffing him into a bucket of salty water. That's no way to treat the father of your children...

Dude, I landed in Flagstaff, AZ. While it is a good place for exploring the Grand Canyon and blessedly scenic ( and seriously, if you are looking for that, I recommend it. It is truly phenom. Happy moments involve swinging in a hammock overlooking the spectacular valley at night while nicely buzzed), it is not a culinary nirvana. Or even cosmo. I lived off of havarti, the rare good sourdough and gin. It was a bad summer.

Anybody else being curious I'd get -- to billytea I'd think it'd be obvious.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and blessedly scenic ( and seriously, if you are looking for that, I recommend it. It is truly phenom. Happy moments involve swinging in a hammock overlooking the spectacular valley at night while nicely buzzed)Seconded mightily. Spent some lovely time there. And it's a quick nip down to Sedona too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, Studio 60, how you are so mystifying. I think the show happened like this: people told Aaron Sorkin that he didn't understand how normal people thought and acted. He figured that what he would do is write a show where no one behaved in a way comprehensible to him. This was a bad idea.
