Thanksgiving Tip Central!

Since I was having trouble finding Alice Waters' brine for my own purposes, I thought I'd make a central repository of Thanksgiving links, posts and threads for everyone to use in the future. Feel free to add to it:

Chez Panisse brine (scroll down a bit).

Heritage turkeys and brining.

Brining thread 2.

Lots of sides.

A couple more sides.

Frying.

Eating out.

MAG's turkey roasting PDF, and G Wiv's turkey smoking PDF (scroll to bottom).

Being thankful.

I'm thankful for LTHForum
