Turkey day went fine, including the actual turkey, which was deliciously tender and flavorful. That “BB” ale, for those who remember it from Blogorado, may not be much to drink but makes one hell of an addition to a brine.

We ourselves are generally thankful for family, friends, and the metric ton of leftovers about the house, on which we graze like particularly plump Eloi.

Actual content when the Thanksgiving Weekend case of extreme laziness wears off, which will happen who knows when?

    Laziness works :-) I’m REALLY happy I don’t have to mess with leftovers either!

    My bird turned out full of win. The sugar in the brine browned the skin faster than I was accustomed to. But the meat was juicy and nomaliciuos.
    Yes, I stuffed. And I did my temp reading on the stuffing. When the deepest part of the stuffing reached 160, I declared the bird DONE!
    Unintended consequence of brining: Because of the extra moisture content in the bird, the stuffing was kind of soggy. Next year I’ll toast the cornbread before stuffing.
