I do a dry brine, I guess. I slather the turkey with butter inside and under the skin and on top of the skin and season it with salt, poultry seasoning, and paprika and put it in the fridge overnight. It has turned out really good every time so far. 🤞🏽

Yay! I love this whole series. I hope you get the next book soon.

That's how I felt too, Jill. I went with 4 but it could have been a five star for me. But the first one was still the best one to me. So that's what I compared it to.

Sounds delish!

Happy Saturday, y'all! We had our annual Thanksgiving luncheon at work yesterday. It was a big hit! I was exhausted after because I got up at 5 to make dressing and I pretty much coordinated and set up everything because it was a professional development day for instructors. They got out just in time to eat. 😆 Anywho... Jerrick and I went to the HS football game and it waa cold. We keft at halftime because we were winning 49-0! It was the first round of playoffs. That's pitiful. The score ended up being 66- 6. EEEP!!!

One if Jerrick's coworkers is having a 50th birthday party tonight. He told me YESTERDAY! And we are supposed to wear black and gold. I seriously don't want to go... I hope J decides he doesn't want to go. I told him I didn't have anything to wear. He just looked at me like I was crazy. 🤣

YES!!!

I picked This Could Be Us. I was surprised I had actually read a few of the romance books and even some in the other categories.

Yep,(view spoiler)[ I kept thinking that can't be who it is. But it was. And yep, I waa super attached to the baby. Mostly because Laurel was questioning her ability to love a child and be a good mother. Which she would have been a great mom. Why!? Just why? (hide spoiler)]
