Good Grief....I will not wait 8+ hours to check in again! That took forever to catch up....not to mention having to constantly stop to laugh...then realizing you better go pee before you laugh some more....

I use the same excuse.
It's just easier to check in more often through out the day.

Tea tastes tantalizingly tingly.

Impressive, but I still don't know what is in the tea! Hey, it's 4:20 here on Friday that's way close enough here in New Orleans

When I brine, I use a 5 gallon drink cooler. (short answer is I use 8 times the salt in 3 times the liquid). But here goes:
Start with a 12 quart pot, medium heat with a ring or two of olive oil. Everything is rough chopped, I don't bother peeling the onions...
2 - Large Onions
4-6 Jalapenos
1 bunch of celery
6 carrots
4 apples
1 orange
2 lemons
4 limes
I saute until it becomes fragrant, then add 2 quarts of my chicken stock to get the whole thing going.
I put about 4 oz of pepper corns in a soup sock and smack it with a hammer. Then toss it in.
4 pounds of salt
4 pounds of honey
Water to the 10 quart line and bring to a hard rolling boil.
I let it boil for about 30 minutes. Then we add the fresh herbs
1 bunch of parsley
4 bunches of sage
2 bunches of thyme
1 bunch of rosemary
1 bunch of oregano
Let it steep for 30 minutes. stirring frequently. Dump it into the cooler, add ice until the elixir is cool, add the bird(s) fill up the cooler with Ice) For chickens and smaller birds, 2-4 hours. For a turkey 4-8 hours.

Edited to add: Every now and then I get a wild hair and throw in a cup or two of bourbon...

Something you want to talk about? Just say it.

Mmm,Mmmm Grandpa! What's for supper?
Rotisserie, brined yard bird seasoned with lemon pepper (20 more minutes)
Roasted, sliced sweet taters tossed in lard and black pepper
Sautéed onions, broccoli and mushrooms with basil in chicken stock.
I'm thinking Port to drink or stick with spiked hard tea.
HeeHaw!

What is on your table tonight?

Left overs... Don't remember what all's there--but if it's in the fridge it's on the dinner menu.
