It was awesome. I've never cooked a big turkey before. I heard a couple days ago on local NPR station, KCRW, that you should brine the turkey overnight. This is basically soaking the turkey in salt water and herbs to saturate the meat. It also helps the turkey retain the moisture when its being cooked. Holy poultry, it totally worked. It was so good. I'll venture to say that it was better that any turkey I've had at my family gatherings. Maybe they'll let me make them a turkey for XMas and I can show them what I did.

We had pals, Melli and Alan over for dinner. They stayed for like 7 hours. I was great. We ate, played dominoes, looked at clips on youtube, listened to music. It was the best Thanksgiving in like 4 years. There was a domino that had some schmutz on it. We called it the booger bone. There's a picture of Alan holding it up. Shanna made some bomb pie that was so delicious. She also made some dope chocolate pecan cookies. Damn! Yummers. So tasty was this feast. We also had garlic mashed patitters, cran sauce, greenie beanie cass., stuffin, gravy, rolls, wine, stuffed olives wrapped in prosciutto, and laughs.
