holy KRAP!! we are having an office turkey day party. being a public office, we all chip in..cash or bring a dish.

my annual responsibilty is to fry one of the birds. i used to do it all..brine it, buy the oil, fry it. now everyone is a brining expert. i just get the raw bird, dry it, and dunk it.

one guy brought in a solid frozen bird to brine..WTF? today!! party is tomorrow. i had to scramble and think outside the box. i took the veggie box from inside the fridge, scrubbed it clean, put the bird in it, and trickled water into it. defrosting it fast.

i just walked into the kitchen..the bird is unwrapped, and is currently being brined in the same fridge box. it is so full, it cannot be moved. i asked if the bird was thawed, and he replied..almost. what the hell does that mean? and how are we going to get the entire container back into the fridge? he said, we could just leave it out overnight...errr..no. no effen way. now i will need to go and scrub out an icechest, dump the entire mess into it..and buy ice.

just how do these people live without diarrhea? am i being too cautious? i'm thinking of skipping the entire thing..maybe frying a softshell crab on the side and making a PO-BOY!
