Our Late Thanksgiving (or Turkey Day!)

~ we originally plan to have our Thanksgiving
here in our lovely home and have planned to
invite our family friend, but last minute
we have changed it because of mom's condition..
and what is the best way to celebrate holiday
but of course with family...

so me & my hubby with ozzie decided to go to Ohio
to spend the holiday with family which turned out
to be great...

but we have bought our turkey already, and just left
it frozen in the fridge, when we got back
we cooked it, and just have a thanksgiving Part II..lol
we normally brine it in wine and broth for 12-24 hours and it
was really good :)

you'll see my hubby jeff who of course the chef,
making his famous gravy from scratch (turkey fats)
and i made some easy side dishes...
seasoned corn & pasta.
and jeff made good stuffings too.YUM.

hi flor, yup, basically same thing,though salt & water ang mixture , yung iba broth or wine, tapos konting salt and herbes, mas ideal nga lang sa brine eh between 12-16 hours, minsan mas matagal dun eh, masyado ng absorb yung salt,masyadong magiging maalat.

thanks for stopping by my dear friend, next year ko na siguro mabisita yung facebook, I am dying to see your updates there...especially derek's pictures.

masyado pang magulo mundo namin dito..take care.
