Brining

Yes, my turkey was a bit salty

So my plan for a shortcut backfired a bit.

It's now my third year buying kosher turkeys for Thanksgiving. The best birds of any kind you can buy are kosher because "koshering" is the closest thing to brining. Kosher meats are usually plump and succelent.

They are also salty if you include salt in your season. Of course, I totally forgot that little detail this year.

Let's say, I will be retaining a lot of water for the next couple of weeks.

Oh well.

Yet, given the sage-thyme-rosemary-oregano-garlic butter I slathered therein said bird, may I say my salty bird totally kicked ass.

Oh. Yes. Indeed.

Words to live by

There is another problem with moral equivalence between [Ann] Coulter and [Bill] Maher. Such a comparison brings conservatives down to the liberal level. It says that conservatives are incapable of maintaining higher standards.
