Thanksgiving - Turkey Triumph!

SUCCESS!!!!
Last month, DJ saw a turkey recipe in Bon Appetit that he said we absolutely must try for Thanksgiving - a bird brined in a mix of Guinness beer and salt water, then basted with a barley malt concoction.  
 
He researched, he refined, and on the big day he made the best turkey ever!  The meat was extremely tasty and juicy, and the skin was browned to perfection.  It looked just like the picture in the magazine.  Even Mel, who usually avoids turkey on Thanksgiving Day, couldn't resist seconds (and sneaky snack bites from the fridge later in the day).  

Quite a proud cooking day.  :-D
