The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath the skies. A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of home happiness. God sends many beautiful things to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is richer than that which He bestows in a mother who has learned love's lessons well, and has realized something of the meaning of her sacred calling.

INSTRUCTIONS

I just pulled my first brined turkey of the smoker. I have always rubbed
with kosher salt. Used William O'Reilly's brine for 16 hours. The skin is
salty and crisp. I should have taken it off at 170 and let it rise but I
didn't. Took it off at 180. The meat is tender, moist and not salty. The
texture of the meat was affected much deeper than with a rub. If you don't
want salt, don't eat the skin.
I used brown sugar and will try Tamari sauce instead of soy next time.
