A place for everyone to share their homecooked meals. Jarred spaghetti sauce and boxed noodles absolutely. Ground your own mix of chuck and wagyu for your steakhouse burger with garlic aioli and seasonal greens perfect. Frozen pizza, TV dinners nah.

Happy Thanksgiving! How’d the turkey come out? Mine was a bit salty in places. Should’ve distributed the dry brine a bit better and probably let it brine for longer so that the salt could soak through more evenly. It’s all good though as I’m taking notes for next time. :)
Turkey turned out great thanks for asking. I do a dry brine as well. 36 hours or so is how long it sits for me. I also do a butter rub and stuff the cavity with orange and lemon pieces. It's amazing how the citrus really penetrates the meat while it roasts.
Ah I only did lemon for citrus but the addition of orange sounds nice. I’ll see if I can remember that for next year. I also plan on slathering on way more herbed butter. Can’t hurt!
