Comments on Kitchen and Residential Design: What's for dinner? Why, a rapier wit of course.

Now it's my turn to blush. Truly Brandon, you were instrumental in some of the most joyful memories of my life. I cannot look at the dining table and not be struck with a vision of your giant Yorkshire Pudding from a couple of Christmases ago. As I'm fond of saying, they were some kind of times. We're fortunate you know. Most people go through life and never know what it's like to share so tight a bond with a group of friends. Times change and people move on and that's OK and expected. What never changes are the memories made along the way and thank you for mine.

Gyps,
Thanks for the shout out! Wow! You really are my most ardent supporter. Last night in my dreams I was sitting on the balcony of the old home-place on 7th Avenue and felt like I couldn't have been farther away from home. I really have found my place in the world and am anxious for you to visit New Orleans and see what I think is so wonderful. Thanks for shilling my blog. I really miss being your neighbor and hold those beautiful memories of 7th Ave close to my heart like a family photograph.
Love and Admiration,
-Brandon

D&R: Suggesting any cooking method to him invites a visitation by the wrath of Khan. It's better to drop an idea in the middle of the floor and them let him find it later. Thanks for the suggestion though. I brined a bird ages ago, but have been having real success for the last couple of years with olive oil and salt applied liberally while the bird roasts. Maybe it's time to revisit brining though.

Shannon: My pleasure and welcome to my blog. I just gave yours a peruse and it looks like I just added something to my reading list. Bravo!

Thank you for sharing this, Paul. :-) Shannon

Paul, you friend may consider using a cooler to brine those big birds. We freeze a couple gallon water jugs and put those in the cooler as well; they keep the brine cold without diluting the brine and raise the liquid level so you don’t need a ton of brine.
