I, too, have thought about it many times, and seen so many recipes, and wondered...

But, I wondered if it would be too salty. I use very, very little salt, oftentimes, none at all. We don't miss it, as we are a "spicy" bunch around here.

I think I will try Emeril's turkey brining method, just once. It looked awfully good, and I have to clean out my freezer today or tomorrow, and I know there is a turkey at the bottom I bought on sale after Easter. Gotta make room for the summer fruits and veggies, as they present themselves.

It is so warm and dry this year, everything is 2 or 3 weeks early, and talk about bumper crops!

Hope you're having a good summer, too.

love,

Carolyn!

ps good lookin' recipes, will be trying the squash one REAL soon (like in a few minutes, man, those suckers sure grow fast!!!)
