I was really pleased with the results!<BR/><BR/>Peter - there is no going back for me now that I've discovered brining! It is just not something we do much over this side of the pond.<BR/><BR/>Val - We bought a big chest meant for storing toys with a snap on lid. It was pretty big but we were only feeding eight so didn't need too huge a container!<BR/><BR/>GBVC - I was a bit skeptical about the method but it really did work well.<BR/><BR/>Joanna - I do love being here by the sea. So nice to have a blustery walk along the beach after over-indulging!<BR/><BR/>Ginger - I became aware of brining when I started reading American food blogs around Thanksgiving. Brining seems to be the norm there so I thought I'd give it a try. Worked really well.<BR/><BR/>Sam - I was a pretty good feast, I have to admit. Brining will be my method again next year, I'm so sure!Abitofafoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627160211408538168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780447680661720141.post-4324254918076729592008-12-30T21:00:00.000+00:002008-12-30T21:00:00.000+00:00Everything looks really delicious!
