i'm throwing a bridal shower for my soon to be sister-in-lawwas wondering if anyone had ideas for games we could play for about 15-20 women? i'm not too fond of cheesy games like bingo or scavenger purse hunt or any games where everyone has to write stuff downi wanted to play something fun that will have everyone laughingthis is a family event so really naughty is out of the question, but a little bit won't hurtThanks for the help!!!
I had my shower a few months agoMy sister had a couple of games planned, so I'll let you decide if you think they are fun enough without being overboard1she wrote a list of TV couples and you had to match them to the program they were on - for example Fred Wilma (The Flintstones)2The second game was that she had people write on a bingo card things they thought I was going to receive and gave everyone stickersWhoever called BINGO first received a small prize3The last game we played was a spice guessing gameShe took 12 paper cups and put a piece of aluminum foil over the top of each cup and poked holes in itWe passed around the cups and tried to guess all the difference spices by smellThe winner (who got the most right) received a small prizeDon't forget, you can also play the toilet paper wedding dress game where everyone pairs up and someone tries to recreate your wedding dress on their modelGood luck!
I have cooked many turkeys in my days and the single most important thing you can do to insure a great turkey is to brine itSee Alton Browns from the Food Network turkey brine recipe it is the best I have found and everybody raves about the taste of the turkeyIt is actually a very simple process and the outcome since I have been doing that is always the best.
My newlywed spouse and that i've got been web hosting a Thanksgiving the final couple years for our acquaintances at school that don't bypass homestead for the tripWe oftentimes initiate by applying rubbing a butter/herb mixture everywhere in the chook (some parsley, and despite your decisionSalt will draw out the moisture so don;t use that for the rub)don't be afraid to conceal the factor and get your palms in therethey are going to be slimy and lined in butter-it is goodThen cover it with foilthe least confusing way is to apply 2 sheets that meet interior the middleonce you bypass to baste it, it is plenty much less confusing to open interior the middle-in basic terms fold the sheets together as quickly as overonce you place it into the oven, don;t keep messing with itkeep the floor juicy by applying basting each 30-40 5 minutesthere will be juices from the turkey yet you will possibly ought to apply butter (melted) that grow to be left over from rubbing the turkeywhile the floor starts to enterprise up/approximately one hour before finished cooking, take the foil off and watch for the little crimson button to pop or the right temp as measured interior the breast and removed from the bonesWe cook dinner the stuffing one after the other yet my mom/grandma continually cooked the stuffing interior the chookat times the stuffing soaks up the juices althoughyou may continually use the leftover juices from cooking the chook to characteristic to the stuffing for greater stylefat continually tastes goodin basic terms ask Paula Deandesire that enablesgood concept on the trial runOh ya-use a roaster pan, with an insert on the backside to advance the turkey off the backside
No worriesHow long do you cook the turkey? The perfect person to ask that question is the butcher you bought it fromJust be brave and askThey will be able to tell you how many hours depending on the bird's weightHow to keep your bird juicy? I suggest to make some sort of compound butter and rub underneath the skinMix soften butter with herbs and garlic, for example, and pull up the skin from the turkey just enough to get the butter everywhereAlso, reach inside the cavity of the bird and rub that tooMake sure all the bag o' wonderful giblets is removedHow do you have a tasty bird? My suggestion would be to pick out some of your favorite aroma's and stuff that bird upLets say you can cut an onion in half, some garlic, some thyme or maybe rosemary(but be careful with that, its strong) and stuff it inside the birdMaybe even go citrus that is always tastyCut up an orange or two even some lemons with some herbsYUMYou can make a rub that accents what you have stuffed your bird withYou can make a rub by mixing brown sugar and other spices togetherMessage it all over the birdIt will be deliciousWhile cooking make sure after the bird is golden brown tent it with some aluminum foil to prevent more browning Good Luck! I hope this helpedYour friendly neighborhood culinary student, Ashley(:
