Eric brined the turkey all night and then grilled it to perfection. It was chilly here and we got a few inches of snow for the holiday. As I listened to a holiday cooking call show on NPR this morning, a lady from Colorado called in to tell a horror story involving dogs and a turkey. The turkey had been carefully placed in the garage overnight to brine and early in the morning a commotion was heard coming from that area. By the time someone got there, the turkey had been "chewed" in many places. Horrified because 11 guests were coming to dinner, the lady decided to cook the turkey despite the mutilation. Her query to the NPR host was whether or not she should tell her dinner guests that her two dogs had a nibble of the main course! I laughed hard thinking of what would have happened to our two monsters if they had even licked Eric's prized turkey. It would not have been pretty...
Cache eyed the grilled turkey all day. Lucky for her she avoided temptation!
We played a lot of Wii and ate a ton of food. Thanksgiving was a lot of fun!
