What a sweet post! It's so funny that you moved out after 30 days...definitely was NOT expecting that. And it's too bad that she won't make you tortellini anymore. I love those little packets of cheesy goodness.<br /><br />The turkey looks so delicious. Brining is always the way to go. I especially like hearing how you plan on using the leftovers. You've got me dreaming of turkey tetrazzini...Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133232352924060797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-46632725013779427922009-12-28T07:31:01.912-06:002009-12-28T07:31:01.912-06:00I've been preaching brine to anyone that will ...I've been preaching brine to anyone that will listen for 10 years!

But I do have a question. Can I use a brine if I am only cooking a turkey breast? Not the while turkey? <br />BTW... Mike and I were married in Jamaica also...

We'll be posting ten interesting things about our six authors soon.<br /><br />Your turkey looks fabulous, but you must have roasted it in the oven? I guess you'd have to have some kind of mega-grill to stand it up. Beer Butt Chicken is one of my favorites. It always turns out so moist. I have roasted turkey on the grill with very good results, too. We were socked with snow right before Christmas, and I had the grill standing by -- just in case.<br /><br />~ KristaKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002970043709820868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-57415522943480497432009-12-27T09:36:51.822-06:002009-12-27T09:36:51.822-06:00What a great story!

How about at Christmas time in Florida?? <br /><br />That was 9 years ago and though we've been through a lot, I would happily do it all over again.<br /><br />Look forward to getting to know you and Jackie better in 2010! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
