Submitted by paula on Wed, 12/02/2015 - 10:23pm
Whitney Gardner realized quickly she was overmatched when she first competed in the Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup.

Ever since she transitioned into skicross from alpine skiing, Gardner had strove to someday compete on the world cup tour. But now that she was there, she had to admit she wasn’t ready. That was difficult.
Talking turkey: Fabulous brine and a unique barbecue twist
Submitted by paula on Tue, 11/24/2015 - 4:27pm
For years I thawed my turkey, covered it with butter and herbs and foil, and popped it into the oven, always afraid to steer away from what I knew worked.
That was, until I watched Emeril Lagasse on Good Morning America about ten year ago. Now, its all about the brine!
The first year I tried the brine I had the recipe all written out and followed it closely, but since then I improvise with whatever is in the kitchen cupboards.
Since this is Tuesday there is still time to do a brine, but you need to hurry.
