Happy Thanksgiving Everybody
I sure am glad I'm not traveling. I just talked to a friend who left here early Wednesday afternoon for Chapel Hill via Chicago and Raleigh/Durham. He was still sitting at O'Hare.
The fresh 19 lb. turkey is soaking in the brine. The two stuffings and the sweet potatoes are cooked and just need to be warmed up tomorrow and the cranberry sauce is done. Hopefully we'll have enough wine for tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Sarah. When both of your families think of what they're thankful for, I'm sure they'll count you and Sarah and your hospitality first.
Good luck with your finals. I'll see you in a few weeks.

Hey Steve--
My brother also did a brine-soaked turkey; he's curious if you got your recipe from the Wine Spectator, as he did.

Nope, I got my recipe from Good Eats, a show on the Food Network, about three years ago.

Damn it... we really do make the same dinner. That's the same place I got my brine recipe.

My turkey this year was probably my best ever. My grandma even liked it and is making one for Christmas.
