Aw yiss. The cromch. Dry brining with compound butter under the skin (and spatchcocking) continues to be my favorite way to prepare turkey

When I was a baby I had a little wearable swim float that had hard styrofoam inserts that my parents would always have to struggle to stuff in the sleeves and that’s what I think of when I see people sticking whole sticks of unsoftened butter into turkey skin

I’m giving away my massive collection of markers to my SIL who has recently gotten into coloring/markers and I’m feeling some kind of way about it. On one hand I used to use them heavily, they’ve been to countless cons. But on the other I haven’t used them in nearly 10 years. Excuse shaky cam

A local chain restaurant (Miguel’s) where I had many a coworker happy hour was recently re-skinned as a Mark Wahlberg Mexican restaurant. There’s photos of Mark Wahlberg all over the walls with arms folded pensively but I firmly believe that what this cantina needs the rest of the Funky Bunch.

Made pastina soup with a mix of tonight’s batch and a frozen batch of stock I had. House smells too good, it would be a crime to not have a soup dinner from it right away.
A closeup of a bowl of pastina soup, it is orange and there is a mount of butter drenched pastina in the middle covered in Parmesan shavings and parsley flakes

PSA re: making your own soup stock bc I get repeatedly told “It dries up too quickly” as a reason ppl give up: You gotta keep adding water to the pot throughout the day. Only reduce down in the last hour, this is a long extraction process. Also don’t leave it at a boil, simmer it. Low and slow.
