Morning

So, it's Thanksgiving morning. At about 5:15am I took out the partially defrosted bird of about 12 pounds and dunked it in a cold water bath in the sink.  After a couple of water changes, it was thawed enough to remove. Took out the neck and giblets, boiled them for a broth for gravy later.  Drinking my coffee from my Homeland Security mug from Katey.  Clearly states that I am a Special Agent and an investigator.  Mostly, I am investigating where all my hair has gone after Andrew clipped me last night.  Judy's only comment was that she could see a lot of pink where the hair once was. 

My one job today is the turkey.  I have read extensively on line as to the correct procedure. Still racked with nerves as to the outcome.  Will it be dry? Will it have flavor at all?  I take this all too seriously.  Well, Happy Thanksgiving to all.
