Hi all!!! Sorry I've been MIA, i've been having some health problems so all I want to do is curl up in a ball and die. They're getting better so here are some memebox unboxing videos I did. Enjoy!

[friendlyneighborhoodktbug]

So, I suffer from severe, chronic pain. Some days no pain, today was an omg, kill me billy! kinda day. As I was opening the mail I'm like "ohh, box from memebox, maybe thats my benton gift set."  

Imagine my shock, elation and squeals of joy that came out of my mouth. It was loud, it scared my kids, I was happy. 

Yay! So, now I get to test it out after dermarolling. Everyone knows how much I LOVE the Tea Tree 90 Essence, so we'll see how much I adore the cream. So, I guess I should say this is not a sponsored post because I don't roll like that. It will be unbiased and if it sucks, it sucks. 

Linky Linky if you're interested... its an affiliate, i know, i'm terrible...  http://us.memebox.com/ljh-teatree-duo-set?acc=a431d70133ef6cf688bc4f6093922b48#.VHzWcDHF9GQ

Anyways, does any body think that chosungah chick looks freakish and glowy? Maybe its the creepiness of the artificial blue eyes and the innocent 5 yr old expression on her face. Ugh, I can see the pedophiles drooling over her.  But I digress,  I would love to see a swatch of this stuff on skin that's not been photo shopped? Lets see if she glows and shines like a Cullen.

Sorry, I'm sure she is a beautiful, generous person and I should hate on her so, i'm not. I am just making commentary on her look. Artificial!! Thats it. If you would like to partake in looking so glowy you could light up a room, I have coupons, just pm me.

Holy shitznittt!! OMG!! Lord o' Living, Happy Thanksgiving. (my grandma used to say that, i miss her :( )

OMG THANKSGIVING is only 18 days away!!!!!

Ok, if you don't cook, please disregard. If you do cook and have been the default "ohh she cooks the best, so we'll just have her cook the whole damn dinner with desert and we will bring a salad to show you contributed," uhhem (not my in-laws). You are officially freaking out right now. Shit, I know I am. I am the best cook in the family, my husband also has a gluten allergy. Guess who's making dinner for 7 people with random other family members who are the size of football players and can polish off 6 large pizzas by themselves, in an hour. No, i'm not bitter. 

So, you will love me for this recipe. Some people call it "butterfly". No, its called spatchcocking. You heard me. So today we are going to learn to just spatchcock the fucker. 

I learned this technique from a wonderful paleo blog called nomnompaleo.com. Michelle used to be a zombie drugpusher (overnight hospital pharmacist) and was doing so good at her blog she just said screw you guys i'm going home. (thought in my Cartman voice)

I can't insert the link, but I reblogged it. Google nomnompaleo + butterfly + turkey. 

Ok, so pros of doing this method

 1. It cooks a whole of hell faster

 2. It is moist throughout - (no mom, those bags for turkey's make them taste like shit and dry, sorry, my way is better.)

 3. You get pretty, crispy skin. I don't eat the skin, but it looks fabulous on you table. 

4. You are mixing 6 sticks of butter with fresh herbs and getting to third base with a turkey

5. You don't have to get up at 4am to start molesting your bird to make sure its done by lunch. For a 20lbs, spatchcocked fucker it took 4 hours. 

6. You get to say "spatchcock" and watch people's eyes roll up on their heads and get all freaked out. And you get to giggle inside like a middle school student....

So this thanksgiving kids, why don't you just spatchcock the fucker? That's what i'll be doing

Butterflied Big Bird (Spatchcocked Turkey)

I

No, I said BUTTERFLIED—not BUTTERFRIED. Sorry to disappoint, butter lovers! And for you strict Paleo peeps, a note of warning: there’s butter in this recipe, though ghee is a fantastic substitute. (If you’re zero-tolerance when it comes to all forms of dairy, substitute duck fat or schmaltz.)

With this post, I’m starting a series of Thanksgiving-related recipe posts, and I figured I’d tackle the hardest one first. Every November, the prospect of roasting a whole turkey strikes fear into the hearts of even experienced cooks. The entire process—from picking a bird to carving it—can be daunting. No one wants to serve a dry, powdery turkey to their gathered friends and family…especially if you’ve got an in-law who’s just waiting to pounce on a kitchen blunder. But never fear: even if Olivia Soprano is your mother-in-law, this foolproof method will keep you in her good graces.

Step One: Pick a Bird

This article by Serious Eats covers everything you need to know about selecting a turkey. (In fact, it covers all things turkey.)

By the way, I learned a valuable lesson this year: Don’t get greedy. The first turkey I roasted to test this recipe was waaaaay too big. The gigantic 18-pounder(!) that I bought from Tendergrass Farms was delicious and came out beautifully (It’s the one I photographed for this post!), but it barely fit in my oven. My second bird (which I didn’t photograph) was a much more manageable 12-pounder that actually fit on my roasting tray.

Step Two: Gear Up

For my recipe, you’ll want to make sure you have a sharp, sturdy pair of poultry shears (to tear through thin bones and cartilage like a skilled orthopedic surgeon). You’ll also need an oven-proof wire rack and a baking sheet or large broiling pan.

Lastly, you’ll need an accurate meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked meat. If you don’t want to keep having to open the oven to check your turkey, your best bet is to get an in-oven thermometer.

Seriously: a meat thermometer is not negotiable. It’s the only way to make sure you don’t overcook your big, pricey turkey and disappoint your guests. 

Step Three: Mark Your Calendars

If you don’t want to eat turkey-flavored popsicles on Thanksgiving, you have to start thawing your bird in the fridge beginning on the Friday or Saturday before Turkey Day. It’ll take 3 or 4 days to fully defrost, and then you’ll want  to dry-brine the bird and let it sit for 1 or 2 more days in the fridge before roasting.

On Thanksgiving Day, make sure you allow for at least 30 minutes of resting time before you carve up the bird. So if you want the bird on the table by early afternoon, you need to pop it in the oven in the morning.

Step Four: Cook!

My Butterflied Big Bird recipe combines Judy Rodgers’ dry-brining techniques with J. Kenji López-Alt’s Crisp-Skinned Butterflied Roast Turkey and my own simple herb butter.

The turkey is spatchcocked and dry-brined with kosher salt, and then left to sit loosely-covered in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. Underneath the crispy skin, the tender meat is flavored with an herb-infused butter (or ghee, if you prefer).

Ready?
