Mrs. WI will never let me attempt to brine a turkey again. I might have to wait until after I kill her and bury her in the back yard to try that. Hopefully I'll remember the tip about a kosher bird. Thanks.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Uhm...no turkey. Husband is allergic to all kinds of fowl, fish, mushrooms. I'm vegetarian headed in a vegan direction.

OK Mae. Now I'm VERY thankful! Just hand your turkey and shrimp over here along with the sautéed mushrooms and pickup your bushes from Steph.

Happy holiday grazing to you.
