Furture me...please pay attention
A note to future me on this day before Thanksgiving....
Dear Amanda,
I had a few tips for you this Thanksgiving season, so if you have a few moments, please, read...and remember.
Under no circumstances should you be trying to brine the turkey while you have a little one in the room...yes he is very content and happy, but look at how close it is to nap time, and think of what you have your hands in...his Grandmothers would rap you on the knuckles if they knew that you couldn't attend to him without a full bio-hazard scrub down...and the alternative to the scrub down...we won't get into that. The baby will undoubtedly need you for urp removal, key retrieval, music change, or just cuddles. For goodness sake put him down for a nap FIRST.
Second, don't assume that the turkey will fit in the pot you decided to brine it in. You got lucky last year, skin of your teeth lucky, or should I say, skin of your turkey neck...
And while we are on the subject of assumptions. Do you really think you can just pull that bottom shelf out of the fridge and not have to deal with some un-named horror? Please. You know somthing spilled, leaked...grew...clean it out the day before...it won't be as hard to battle when you aren't covered in turkey slime.
Read the brining instructions twice dummy. 24 hours is WAY DIFFERENT THAN 5 HOURS...good think you caught that or the amount of salt would have turned that into turkey jerky pretty darn fast.
You got pretty lucky this year, and I must admit that the duct tape latch on the fridge door to make sure it stayed closed was pure genius, we all remember how the fridge not shutting properly impacted your last dinner party....
God Speed,
Past Amanda
