First off, thank you everyone who sent me well wishes while I was sick. I'm a lot better but not completely 100%. I don't know why it is but every time I'm fully well I come back down with something. My theory is that it's the Holiday season. It's just so exhausting.
But I do love Turkey day! This year was a little strange in that I didn't do any of the cooking. I only brined a small turkey with the hubby. And let me tell you that was a crazy adventure...I had ice water from one end of the kitchen to the other because the ice chest we used leaked like a sieve. But the brine and bird stayed sealed during the whole process, which included a 2 day soak and a 3 hr car trip. I was a little disappointed in the flavor though. I tried an apple/rosemary recipe from the local butcher, but it was just so bland. Meat was nice and juicy with not a hint of gamey flavor but none of us tasted the apple or rosemary flavors. Might give it another try only change out concentrations of ingredients. Will post the recipe after I experiment. So stay tuned.
