Last week Pops texted me the following:
That's right. This year we are brining the turkey. Pops, Little Chief and Jaws went out and got all of the essentials, including an over sized Patriots brining bucket!
Tonight we are making it all happen! We looped the BEST Thanksgiving movie of all time, Planes Trains and Automobiles, and started turning out the good stuff. In a measly 5 consecutive viewings I cranked out a shell for Grandma Sherrie's banana cream pie, Glama's apple crisp, Todd's Yummy Yummy Yams Yum Yum Yum, and the Lion House pumpkin pie.
Okay, I may have crashed on the couch occasionally to take in a few laughs.
This one made Superkid and I laugh our guts out:
"He says we're going the wrong way."
"Oh, he's drunk. How does he know where we're going?"
"Ya, how does he know where we're going!"
Good times.
Pops has all things Turkey covered. Earlier today he prepared the brine and chilled it. Tonight he made Grandma Rula's stuffing and prepped the bird. He was a little disappointed that he could only find a 20-pounder, but that is bigger than our little butterball who is now tipping the scales at 19 lbs.
Time for splash down!
Mmmmmmmm... turkey brine!
