If you were here with us here at Slashfood a year ago, you might remember that we paid some close attention to turktastrophes. Perhaps we find comfort in reading about other people's misfrotunes to feel better about ourselves, or perhaps the stories truly are funny. If you recall, I had a turkey tragedy myself this time last year. Let's just say that never again will I try to speed defy nature when speed-defrosting a completely frozen turkey the night before Thanksgiving. I swear I am the most anal-retentive person when it comes to preparing something like Thanksgiving dinner (which happens to be my favorite holiday of the year), but I just, kinda, well, didn't see that part on my spreadsheet.
Anyway, given that lesson, our turkey happily thawed its way to defrosted and it is now soaking in a lovely aromatherapy bath, aka brining solution. We have also prepared cranberry sauce, pumpkin bread pudding, and washed and chopped/sliced/diced/cut our vegetables. Potatoes are sitting underwater in the pot in which they will be cooked tomorrow, too. I almost feel like we're going to have nothing to do tomorrow except watch movies while the turkey roasts.
What kinds of things is everyone else doing tonight to prepare for tomorrow?
