This year we will be attempting the Alton Brown method of cooking our turkey. This involves days and days of brining the turky, and only hours of cooking. In theory this will be the best turkey dinner we’ve been involved with. In actuallity I think it will be yet another fine turkey meal. The best part is that we’ll have lots of family at the place, the worst part is that those same wonderful people will generate dirty dishes. My mother-in-law has been doing so much housework that I’m almost certainly going to volunteer to do the dishes after the meal, it is only fitting that if everyone else is involved with all of the other aspects I shall be the one to clean up the left-overs, clear the table, wash the table, wash the floor, wash the dishes and make sure I check all of the belly-buttons of the dishes for lint.

What sort of Thanksgiving traditions does your family have?
