My husband is doing all of the cooking, while I did all the cleaning and stuff. It's better for the health and safety of everyone concerned if we keep it that way!

My contribution to the TG festivities is a smoked turkey breast. And I decided to smoke a rib roast, too, just for fun.

Here is the brine I use every year.

That is the way I always make perfeat Turkey, Also my Bay and Lemon Brined Turkey
Recipe courtesy Dave Lieberman
Show: Good Deal with Dave Lieberman
Episode: Thanksgiving For $45
Bay and Lemon Brined Turkey
1 (12 to 15-pound) turkey

For the brine:
2 gallons water
1 cup sugar
1 cup kosher salt
2 lemons, sliced in 1/2
4 bay leaves
3 cinnamon sticks
Small handful cloves

Combine all brine ingredients in a container or pot large enough to hold the turkey. Make sure all the sugar and salt have been fully dissolved. Add the turkey and refrigerate about 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove turkey from brine and transfer to a roasting pan with a rack. Stuff turkey with the lemon halves, bay leaves, and cinnamon sticks used in the brine. Cook turkey for about 3 1/2 hours, basting every 40 minutes or so. If any part of the turkey gets too brown towards the end of cooking, shield with pieces of tin foil. When the turkey is done, juices should run clear from the breast and the legs should pull away from the bird easily. Remove from the heat and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.

That sounds

my mom is trying that this year, so she bought two turkeys just incase this one doesn't turn out good.

LOL, me too! I saw it on a cooking show and thought hmmmm I think I will try that. Then I thought what if I screw it up???


So two turkeys later the one with the brine was super delish!

I have half a can left of 100% pumpkin left, what do I do with it? Can I make pumpkin bread or pancakes out of it? If so, HOW?

I am NOT a cook

Pumpkin pancakes for tomorrows breakfast would be awesome.
