Day 327
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

20 Pound Turkey
16 hour soak in brine made of:
Chicken stock, Kosher Salt, All Spice Berries, Peppercorn, Candied Ginger, and Brown Sugar.

After the 16 hour soak stuffed with: (Aromatics)
Rosemary, Sage, Onion, Apple, and Cinnamon Stick.

Into the oven for 5 hours

You give up stuffing "in the bird" for the trade off of the flavor the Aromatics give the Turkey from the inside out.

This is the seventh year Chris has made it this way and this is the only information she will allow me to give out. There are other steps you have to do in each process that I can not devulge.

It may not look like much but it melts in your mouth.

Is this an announcement of an upcoming glorious event?

We can see how it could be easily confused for that, but it's not. It's really an angel for our Daughter, Viktoria Elisabeth (Tori) who we lost at 31 weeks five years ago.

She sits on top of our entertainment center and watches over us. Recently she took a tumble and broke. Thanks to the magic of superglue and Photoshop we were able to put her back together for this photo.

I was using her as a warm up shot for this weeks photo challenge. If you look at the size of the charm she is holding you can judge she about five inches tall. Something small I found around the house and thought this is how she might look in a catalog.

Please don't feel bad about asking about her. Without knowing the story you wouldn't know. :cool:
