Also, please to not type so much today because I really loved this thread title lots.
This is a good thread title. May the next one be equally amusing.
Now I want bread.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
THE EATING!
This is what I'm saying.
Alas, I have no oven-safe pot-with-lid. One of these days I'm going to break down and buy Le Crueset, but so far I've been put off by the thought of carrying it home.

no oven-safe pot-with-lid
Could a removable liner for a crock pot do in a pinch? Does the shape matter? Or just the oven-safe part?

He's wrong! Brining is where it's at.
This. It is so easy, and makes such a difference. My sister (who prepares most of the meal) decided to brine 5 or so years ago and the rest of the family made her promise to do that every year, even though she generally likes to use different recipes for everything.

I don't know what that is, but I imagine the answers are yes, no, and yes. But that's just a guess.
I am extraordinarily tired for good reason -- stayed up too late, woke up too early.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. Shape doesn't matter; it's a vaguely round loaf that may or may not touch the sides of the pot at all.

eBay, hon. There are a bunch of resellers in Francophone Canada who sell them at about half the price you'll find in, say, Williams-Sonoma. Including the international shipping.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Cash, if your DH can't be persuaded to brine, buy a kosher turkey instead of a self-basting one. The koshering process is basically a dry brine, and yields very similar results. (The main difference being that you can't control the level of seasoning the way you can with your own brine, but it is a lot less work.)

Huh. There's still the schlepping problem (either I get it delivered to work, or have to pick it up at the inconvenient post office), but huh.
