Getting ready for Thanksgiving and I was wondering how many of you brine your turkey? Can you really taste the difference?

This quantity is enough for a turkey up to 18 pounds. For chicken, just cut the quantity down drastically. For Twinkle's roast chicken recipe, I got it down to 1/4 and still had more than I needed.

I think I'm distantly related (though cheating) to the English teacher I had freshman year of high school. However, I don't think my parents want me to know this (for some reason... I mean, it can't really be conflict of interest in school anymore since I'm a junior in college now).

Detroit retiree, 69, supplements his income by living off the land
Detroit - When selecting the best raccoon carcass for the special holiday roast, both the connoisseur and the curious should remember this simple guideline: Look for the paw.
"The paw is old school," says Glemie Dean Beasley, a Detroit raccoon hunter and meat salesman. "It lets the customers know it's not a cat or dog."

The other dark meat: Raccoon is making it to the table
By Lee Hill Kavanaugh | Kansas City Star
He rolls into the parking lot of Leon's Thriftway in an old, maroon Impala with a trunk full of frozen meat. Raccoon — the other dark meat.
In five minutes, Montrose, Mo., trapper Larry Brownsberger is sold out in the lot at 39th Street and Kensington Avenue.

Every blog everywhere is doing its best and worst list for the year. Guess what so am I. There were plenty of horror movies this year, mostly Hollywood remaking a bunch from other countries, and doing a poor job at it, but hey they tried.

Okay, I'll confess: I'm domestically challenged.

So, mostly for my benefit, let's all share our favorite tricks for holiday meal preparation.

Plaisir D’Amour roughly translated, Pleasure and Love or something, right? Help me out my French speaking people, mine is spotty at best. Anyway, the title definitely says a lot.

During this long election season, one of the things that the candidates have had to confront are smear merchants, peddling the most vicious and hateful of innuendos. By any measure, it would appear that Barack Obama has had the worst of it this election season, but John McCain is no stranger to those sorts of attacks, either. Nor is he a stranger to those sorts of attackers, having hired them to work on his campaign.

I am thankfully not making the entire Thanksgiving dinner but will make pomegranate mojitos (it is a tradition), brine the turkey and also attempt a new take on pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin but hate the texture of pumpkin pie, so I have decided to attempt a dessert ravioli with pumpkin filling and some sort of flavored whipping cream. Sort of like a butternut squash ravioli in brown sage butter but for dessert with whipping cream, of course!
