Gobble Gobble Gobble

Well, my husband, whom I mentioned before is really good with meat, roasted us a turkey today! It was delish!! I definitly have some packaging to do. I plan to foodsavor a lot of it and freeze it and keep taking it out every so often.

Yesturday he started his brine. He cooked that on the stove for a bit and then let the turkey sit in that brine throughout the night. He put the bird in the oven around 1pm. We also tried a new style of gravy. We used the drippings of course, I added a bit of pepper and thyme, some roux and we even put some wine in there. It was a very nice, dark and rich gravy. I'll be packaging that too so we can enjoy it later as well.

My husband was excited to use the new meat thermometer. It's one of those ones that has the cord and now I'm excited because it doubles as a candy thermometer. Maybe they all do, but hey that's a bonus to me! Anyways I was the one that had the pleasure of going down to Gretchens, my all time favorite kitchen and cooking supply store. It's a great local place, they're very honest and it's been around for a long time, about 30 years I suspect. They also don't sell cheap crap, everything in there is a good quality. Godda love Gretchens!
