We had a big mid-day Sunday dinner: turkey w/ most of the usual fixings.

turkey
mashed potatoes
stuffing
gravy
steamed green beans

apple crumble with vanilla ice cream for dessert

I can't remember a time when I made a more wonderful turkey. I brined it for about 24 hours and then simply followed the Butterball instructions that came with it (but also basted it every 1/2 hour). Moist as hell.

My sis, son and granddaughter joined us.

Marvelous day, but exhausting.
