The day I tasted Tofurky and Gravy Jones Soda

Chris came up with the great idea to take out the bottom drawer of our fridge and set the cooler right down on the bottom of the fridge. I mixed up half a batch of the brine recipe and it filled the cooler to the top. The next day, Ryan carried the cooler to the sink for me, I drained the brine and then rinsed the turkey with … [Read more...]
