Thanksgiving Day Countdown - Wednesday

Tomorrow is the big day...are you ready for the gluttony?  America goes through more than 675 million pounds of Turkey on Thanksgiving.  Did you know that for every four pounds your turkey weighs you should allow for one day of thawing in the fridge?  Did you even remember to thaw your turkey?  If not, go here: Quick Thaw Directions for Turkey.

1,500 = the amount of calories an average woman requires each day. 
2,000 = the amount of calories an average man requires each day.

The American will consume more than 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving Day.  Of course, you can always bump that count higher by downing a few glasses of wine or beer, and some appetizers to boot. Just sayin'...

Now that I've brought you to tears with the calorie stats bomb, let's move on.  Shall we?  So about that snow storm warning I mentioned yesterday.  We now have snow this morning, and more snow coming.  A good time to stay inside and cook, and bake, drink wine, and then drink more wine.

I started off early this morning testing out a bread recipe for tomorrow.  If it's worthy of mention I'll post it later. 

Turkey Update:  the turkey went into its wet brine bath yesterday evening and will stay there submerged until sometime early tomorrow morning when I'm ready to prep it for the oven.  My husband's words to me this morning..."Honey, do a good job with the turkey, okay?"   Right.  Stay tuned....
