Brining

Yes, my turkey was a bit salty

Location

United States

So my plan for a shortcut backfired a bit.

It's now my third year buying kosher turkeys for Thanksgiving. The best birds of any kind you can buy are kosher because "koshering" is the closest thing to brining. Kosher meats are usually plump and succelent.

They are also salty if you include salt in your season. Of course, I totally forgot that little detail this year.

Let's say, I will be retaining a lot of water for the next couple of weeks.

Oh well.

Yet, given the sage-thyme-rosemary-oregano-garlic butter I slathered therein said bird, may I say my salty bird totally kicked ass.

Oh. Yes. Indeed.

QUOTES

Do we not hear the noise of the grave-diggers who are burying God? Do we not smell the divine putrefaction? - for even Gods putrefy! God is dead! God remains dead! And we have killed him! How shall we console ourselves, the most murderous of all murderers? The holiest and the mightiest that the world has hitherto possessed, has bled to death under our knife - who will wipe the blood from us? With what water could we cleanse ourselves? What lustrums, what sacred games shall we have to devise? Is not the magnitude of this deed too great for us? Shall we not ourselves have to become Gods, merely to seem worthy of it?

— Frederich Nietzsche
