Thanksgimme.

So my parents are coming into town for Thanksgiving. After the success of last year's dinner (see above), they decided that dinner was on me this year. I'm hella excited.

I got all my shopping out of the way yesterday. Made up a handy-dandy spreadsheet to take to all my local supermarkets and price-compare. You know, so I could get the best deals. And I'm not even Jewish!

Wait, was that racist?

I'm currently thawing the turkey in the tub in a bucket, so I can brine it all night long. Thanks, Alton Brown, for teaching me the methods of mafia-style turkey-drowning.

...using the Culinary Brick of Science!

I've also made one of those schedule spreadsheets so I can be nice and efficient come Turkey Day:

Because when cooking meets nerditry, I am unstoppable.
