Bird is in the oven. Woke up to a big mess this morning. Got a wild hair before I went to bed and decided to brine the bird anyway. Went out and bought a turkey bag to do it. The bag leaked slowly in the fridge all night long, overrunning the brim of the pan, so I got to start my day thoroughly cleaning the bottom shelves of my frig. Had to toss all the produce in the bins - had marinated all night in turkey juice infused brine.

Sis called this morning to remind me to not forget the family tradition of burning the rolls.
