What the heck is that ... a squirrel?? .. LOL

Well I've been scanning old family photo's for the last two days .. scanned about 500 photo's and have about 500 more to go .. and my butt has gone numb!

What have y'all been up to?

[Mo1]

I am never going to be able to remember all this crap!

You'll do fine ... I have faith in you ... plus you are one smart cookie

[Pippin]

LOL!

Another lieberry to go to!

[Pippin]

Been to other threads, but I try to come back to this one even if it's only to lurk.

I don't find much time to post anywhere these days. :0(

Thanks, Mo. I had a dream last night that I was in a coloring contest with a bunch of other people and we each, one at a time, had to color the picture we were given with only the colors we were given, and we each only had a certain amount of time to do it in. Everybody else was given really cool pictures, and I got a picture that was just awful, and with all the wrong colors. I got so frustrated that I just drew a pony and colored it and glued some hair on it. You think maybe that was a symbolic dream? LOL!

I just found your post about brining turkey.
Somehow, when Lisa Anne is here, FR seems much less compelling.

I like to do it because it helps keep the white meat moist while the dark meat is finishing cooking.

Basic Brine:
1 gallon water
1 cup Kosher salt, or 1/2 cup table salt
1 cup sugar
garlic, onion, celery, carrot
2 tsp whole peppercorns, 2 tsp dried thyme, 1 allspice berry, tied up in cheesecloth.

You can replace the sugar with molasses or brown sugar, or replace the sugar and water with Coca Cola, as long as you don't get the brine so dark it makes the meat funny looking.

You can add any other spices that suit you, but if they aren't tied up in cheesecloth, the ground ones embed in the pores of the meat when it swells up and look strange.

I put the turkey and brine in a 2 gallon ziplock bag inside a big pan, cause otherwise the bag leaks and refrigerate for about 24 hours before cooking.

Brining in Coca Cola is really good for birds or pork that are going to be BBQ'd.

Did you have a Nyquil chaser to that Blue Thingie?

Have you been making some of that 'special' homemade mushroom soup again?

Smoking Nermal's catnip?

Good luck today!

Thank you Westy,

I spent five years up in Seattle (1973-1978).

Precisely on Capitol Hill in Seattle, near Volunteer Park.

I'd like to come back and stroll around someday.

Evil squirrel!

[Conservababe]

Thanks, Swervie, for the brine recipe. Now, I suppose I wash the turkey well before cooking?

I just pat them dry, but a rinse wouldn't hurt.

Dunno why I have two songs stuck in my head.
Duran Duran's "Union of the Snake" and Live's "Rattlesnake"...

[Conservababe]

You seem more like a John Prine type to me.


Dear abby, dear abby ...
My feet are too long
My hair’s falling out and my rights are all wrong
My friends they all tell me that I’ve no friends at all
Won’t you write me a letter, won’t you give me a call
Signed bewildered

Bewildered, bewildered...

Chorus:
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain’t what you ain’t
So listen up buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

Dear abby, dear abby...
My fountain pen leaks
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed
If it weren’t so expensive I’d wish I were dead
Signed unhappy

Unhappy, unhappy...

Repeat chorus

Dear abby, dear abby...
You won’t believe this
But my stomach makes noises whenever I kiss
My girlfriend tells me it’s all in my head
But my stomach tells me to write you instead
Signed noise-maker

Noise-maker, noise-maker

Repeat chorus

Dear abby, dear abby...
Well I never thought
That me and my girlfriend would ever get caught
We were sitting in the back seat just shooting the breeze
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees
Signed just married

Just married, just married...

[Darksheare]

I also have a Kenny Wayne Shepard song stuck in my head.
(Blue on Black)

Honestly an odd cacophany in there.
(I hope I'm not the only person on Earth to have multiple songs playing at the same time in my head.)

[restornu]

How that?
