part of my voluntary work brings me into contact with homeless/addicted youngsters from salford,parts of which are some of the most deprived,crime riddled,violent & drug infested in the uk.it is very rare to come across a drug addict or alcholic.they usually have both addictions with psychosis as a result.visions & voices etc.they will usually be on a cocktail of methadone,benzodiazepine & anti psychotics,plus drugs to conteract the side effects of the "treatment"drugs.they also buy diazepine,crack,weed & other illegal drugs on the street.to give someone alcohol in that situation may well make them vomit.if they have just taken their "meds" they would bring those up too.they would then,most likely,start to "rattle" then nosedive into a coma.
not good advice to administer alcohol on the streets,you don't know what else the recipient is taking.it may well kill them.
Back on subject.
I was in Costco today to buy my turkey. The man was filling the case and told me this was it. No more turkeys in Costco after they sell out the ones they have.
So now I have a fresh turkey and have never had fresh, only frozen.
Must I brine?
Oh.....I needed turkey parts, so I went in the grocery store. They had necks, wings and legs. More legs than I have ever seen. Must have been 15 packs of legs.
No you must not. Will brining improve the turkey? I believe it will.
I bought a fresh Butterball Saturday at our usual supermarket. It was either $1.29 or $1.59 a pound. Then we went to Costco and saw fresh Butterballs for $1.09/Lb. Grrrrr.
There were a lot of turkeys at both locations. There was a "Limit 2 per Customer" sign at the supermarket.
