Yesterday at GUM we had a tutorial on cooking. We covered two things: making a turkey, and some desserts. The desserts were de-lish...but what I really want to focus on is making a turkey. (Thanks Tina and Carol for you fab demos!!)
I'll be 30 next month, in 35 days to be exact, and if you've been reading my blog or ever had a conversation with me, you're likely to know I haven't handled the prospect of turning 30 with much grace. In fact, my husband has planned something special for me in an effort to coax me into my 30's. I told him it better be good, or I'm staying 29. I've also spent some time over the last year trying to come up with a list of things I should do before turning 30. I hadn't had much success with this list - until now.

Before I turn 30, I'm going to cook a turkey. My first turkey. Ever. I've never even HELPED make a turkey. Actually I've never even cooked a whole chicken. So this will be my maiden voyage in poultry. Probably a bit ambitious I know, but then I'm an ambitious kind of gal. I admit I am motivated by the thought of eating a wonderful turkey sandwhich (as they seem to have eluded me and my household so far this year). There's nothing like a leftover turkey sandwhich. And that's coming from the girl who thinks we should have ham at every holiday.
Either way, I'm making a turkey. I've comitted. I've posted about it here. And the adventure begins. I hope you'll follow me along the journey and are inspired and humored right along with me.
I'm off to read through Melinda Lee's website to read up on the recipe, the brine and make a list for the grocery store. Check back Monday for my next entry in Adventures in Making a Turkey.

You go Girl! I think you should cook a 30 pounder ... I think that's a great way to start bring in your new decade! Can't wait to hear about your adventure-just remember to clean your turkey first (I hear that's a really important step).
