Baking today

Just a quick update...I've been cooking all day today. I brined the turkey for the first time, which was interesting. Basically, brining is a saltwater mixture, with other things involved (apple juice, rosemary, orange peel, etc.) I bought a brining bag to put the turkey and brine in, and it says it "leakproof." So far, it's held, but the bag is super heavy, and it was a little struggle to get into the refrigerator (by myself!!) I managed though, and also managed to make sweet potato casserole and pumpkin cream cheese muffins for breakfast! Tomorrow it will just be cooking the turkey, and stuffing, and green bean casserole. Family is bringing the rest! Everything smells so good it's hard to wait for tomorrow!
