Turkey Day
So this Thanksgiving is going to be different, and special. Seeing as none of us Seminary students have any money to fly home we are having thanksgiving together! The lovely family I nanny for is going away and is graciously letting us use their home for the day!!!! We get to have a fireplace, big tv for the thanksgiving parade and football, and lots of counter space, and.....A DISHWASHER! Something none of us have. Anyway we all split up the food items and I am in charge of the turkey. NERVOUS! I have only roasted a turkey once in my life, and lets just say it was a source of stress that day with Josh's dear family(Come on I was newly married and had the pressure of cooking the turkey on my first thanksgiving with His family? It was stressful!)So needless to say I have done my homework and actually have a schedule all ready to go so this thanksgiving will be Stresssss free. I am following the instructions of the lovely Pioneer Woman (if you haven't checked her out you simply must!)
She reccomends Brining the turkey so that is what I am doing! So Here is my Turkey Day Schedule!
