Wasted Continuum

Holy frick! This new recipe blow my last roast turkey straight out of the water. Hands down, this is a superior recipe. This was an amalgamation of four different recipes that I found. I need to write up a final recipe of what I actually did so that I can use it again. It was just ridiculously good. I only messed up the skin a little bit. Nothing I can’t change next year. Damn. I think I may have finished a third of it by myself. The last two roast chickens I made recently definitely gave me some ideas in this recipe. I’m glad it worked out. I ate a lot today and I think I’m going to pass out now.

A few things that I am thankful for:

• My family
• My friends
• My mind
• My cooking experience
• New music, like Sara Barielles
• Old music, like Green Day and Chopin
• My bed
• My health

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving.

Here’s a photo I took yesterday before I started my whole cooking process. This year, I’m trying a new recipe. Not that the old recipe sucked — it’s amazing — I just wanted to improve on it. I changed the brine recipe to include a bunch of different herbs and wine. The roasting portion of the recipe is about the same. I added a few slice of citrus fruit in the cavity for a little flavor. I also used homemade herb butter to rub down the turkey. It smells good so far.
