I can brine for eight and dry overnight. Is it worth doing if I do it for 12 hours?
Yes.
And I'm, y'know, blonde and bland and pale and chubby fat and I'm cranky and difficult and make it really hard for people to even get to know me, much less love me, and I have huge issues that make me an emotional minefield.
I'ma hafta come over there and smack some sense into you.
Teppy, don't be silly. The Boy LUVRES you. You're all good.
Also? On "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me", there was a gaucho put-down this past weekend. Just thought the gaucho-haters might appreciate it.

Actually, I just looked at AB's recipe I linked and it only calls for 6 hours of brining. I think I made it 8 hours in my mind because I do it overnight, and overnight=8 hours. So that will be a couple more hours for air drying, crispy skinned goodness!
He's going to take one look at her and wonder why he ever EVER thought I was a good idea.
He will take one look at her and think, "Thank the GODS I met Teppy, who is incredibly smart and funny and lush and sexy and knows how to use a semi-colon, for heaven's sake."
I promise.
And then proceded to ask The Boy to move to Texas.
Which he proceeded not to do. He proceeded to continue to live in Cincy and fall in love with YOU.

More likely is that this Latina goddess is going to be fighting with the boy over *YOU*.
The ex - "Can I borrow her for at least *one* night?"
The boy - "No. The Teppalicious is all mine. Sorry."
The ex - "Can we share? Please? She's so very intriguing and tempting and just look at those lips. Dear god."
The boy - "Yes. I know. She's lovely and she's mine. Good seeing you again though. Bye now."
I like Nicole's plan. I think it's very likely.
SAIL! I saw your twin at the sandwich shop! She had blue streaks in her hair, and it looked AWESOME! You totally need to do that!
I'm not fishing for compliments, y'all. I think my reaction to a LEGENDARY ex coming in town is well within the limits of reason.
don't be silly, teppy. and ION, my almost 2 year old niece calls me Tep, which always amkes me think of you and smile
