Tomorrow we cook turkey. I think that we all know that turkey is pretty easy to fuck up. A few years ago I learned about the magic of brines from the Alton Brown guy. It has to do with the osmosises…something about the water inside the turkey trying to balance with the water that is surrounding it. What that means is that the meats soak up the water trying to make everything the same or something…anyway when it sucks the water in it also sucks in the stuffs that are in the water. So if you flavor your salty water some of them flavors will get sucked into the turkey.

Or something like that…if you want to know how it really works there is this really cool website you should check out…it’s called google. You go there type stuff in and it magiclly gives you answers.

Anyway…in honor of my brine here is some salt. This is sea salt that they mined from the Himalayan Mountains or something…dude don’t ask me, that is just what they told.
