Last Thanksgiving, for the first time, I "brined" my bird.

So...out of the brine and into the oven she went....As I recall, the
"done" inside temp is 140..or 160, I cant remember which. Anyway, I
pulled the bird from the ocven and stuck in my thermometer...one of
those digital ones...and it said, 117. So back into the oven she went.
Half an hour later, I tested again. Thank god, this time my friend also
took a look.

Woops! BLIND folks CANT read digital numbers! What I thought was 117
was actually 177...and the poor bird was quite OVER cooked.

But amazingly, it was FINE! Juicy and quite tasty, not dry at all. I
am certain that IF we had NOT brined it...it would have been a complete
disaster.

Now I can only imagine how good a brined turkey that is NOT seriously
over-cooked might be.....

jeeeez. Ya gotta watch out for them blind cooks....

Ive been adding a couple of teaspoons full of a Fiber supplement to my
juice lately, hoping to lower my cholesterol. Im also a gardener...and
by golly! The Fiber comes in a tall plastic container JUST the same
size and shape and color as my fertilizer....which, for some reason, I
had left on my kitchen counter....

well, you know the rest of that story!

ps, flower fertilizer doesnt taste all that great in orange juice......
