There’s a DEAD BIRD IN THERE!!!
Posted by: Lisa : Category: Ramblings
So, for Thanksgiving, i decided to go all Martha Stewart and brine my turkey in a honey brine. I put the turkey and the brine in a huge cooler and put it outside to stay cold. About 11pm I brought it inside to the mudroom so that it was safe from animals:)
So Thanksgiving morning I ask Ben to bring it in so I can start cooking the turkey. He brings the cooler into the house and opens it up and exclaims “There’s a DEAD BIRD in there!”. I of course screamed “WHAT!??!?!?!!?!?!?!?”.
I’m imagining this little robin type bird floating dead in the water….
And of course, my husband starts laughing his butt off. “I can’t believe that actually worked!!!! AH HA HA HA HA.”
OH. He was talking about the turkey. JERK.

Now THAT would have been a dinner ruined! How did it taste with the brine?

I always fall for stuff like that.
How weird is it that I’m commenting 1 year and 5 months after the last person???
Have a great day!
May 27th, 2009 at 2:04 am
hahaha that’s great! I so would have fallen for that too.
May 27th, 2009 at 2:05 am
That is weird lol. If the cooler wasn’t outside almost all day the night before, and I wasn’t in a house full of people trying to get the turkey done, I MAY have caught it right away lol.
Thanks for coming by!!

That is so funny! Your husband sounds like mine. Visiting from SITS. Congrats on your day!

What a clown
May 27th, 2009 at 3:01 am
Husbands. They think they’re soooo funny. LoL.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:29 am
LOL…don’t feel too bad… I would have totally fallen for that, too. heehee…

Hi from SITS.
Why is that husbands think they’re amusing? Must be the laughter that follows them around. :p
May 27th, 2009 at 5:25 am
That is soo funny! As silly as it sounds, I’m sure it would have worked on me, too, as I am sure my own husband would do something similar to that!
Stopping by from SITS! Really enjoying your blog.
May 27th, 2009 at 6:12 am
He’s a sick sick man. Have an AWESOME SITS day!
May 27th, 2009 at 6:23 am
LOL!! That’s hilarious.
May 27th, 2009 at 7:08 am
That’s hilarious! Totally something my husband would do! How did the turkey turn out? We deep fried ours this past year! Yum yum!
May 27th, 2009 at 7:12 am
ha ha…men!!
congrats on being FB
May 27th, 2009 at 7:33 am
LOL! Sounds like something my Ben would say
!
May 27th, 2009 at 7:54 am
That is EXACTLY what my husband would have said. Do they go to school for that kind of humor, or what?
May 27th, 2009 at 8:43 am
What a funny little story. Kudos to your husband for his quick thinking. We brine our turkey every Thanksgiving and then cook it outside on the grill. It’s fab-u-lous! Congrats on your SITS day.
May 27th, 2009 at 8:44 am
Funny!!!
May 27th, 2009 at 8:45 am
That’s a good one. I give him a #10! LOL
May 27th, 2009 at 8:50 am
OK, maybe your hubby is more like mine than I thought, if he was home @ bat time- maybe he would have videoed too!
May 27th, 2009 at 8:52 am
That is SO FUNNY!
May 27th, 2009 at 8:54 am
Too funny… boys, will be boys. Brats.
Here from SITS.

I would have killed him. There are only 2 times I do NOT have a sense of humor. Thanksgiving morning when I’m trying to get dinner prepared and Christmas afternoon when I’m trying to get dinner prepared. Those dinners are high stress with the amount of family we have coming over that he knows not to mess with me. He would have ended up with the cooler on his head. lol
(Stopping by from SITS btw)
May 27th, 2009 at 9:04 am
Sounds like something my husband would do, tee hee.

That’s a great joke…especially since you fell for it!
May 27th, 2009 at 9:33 am
That’s too funny! That sounds like something my fiance would do to me because he would know that I would fall for it! lol
Happy SITS Day!
May 27th, 2009 at 9:44 am
HA – I guess he was right! But I have to say, I like to not think about what I’m eating on T-Day. Your hubby makes that difficult!
May 27th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Now come on, admit it, THAT was funny!
May 27th, 2009 at 9:53 am
Heh.
He got you, for sure.
May 27th, 2009 at 9:59 am
My husband does the same thing, and of course I fall for it every time! Although you have to admit that was a good one!
May 27th, 2009 at 10:17 am
that is funny!!!!! Happy SITS day!
May 27th, 2009 at 10:25 am
That is so funny! I would have fallen for it too.
May 27th, 2009 at 10:45 am
LOL! Something my hubby would have done too! Men!
May 27th, 2009 at 11:06 am
LOL now that woulda been BAD! he sure got ya!
May 27th, 2009 at 11:27 am
ROFL!! OK, that was a good one.

I think all little boys are pulled aside in school and taught how to be pranksters to all the women in their lives… it’s an art form in and of itself. Hilarious LOL
May 27th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Your husband definitely has a good sense of humor!!!
Congrats on your SITS day!
May 27th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Male persons always think they are soooo funny.
Happy SITS day!

Happy SITS day!!
P.S. I read it out to my husband and he laughed and said he got it right away. MEN!
May 27th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Happy SITS day! I hate when my husband does stuff like that.
May 27th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Happy SITS day! I’m the one that would do something like that to my DH.
May 27th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
HaHa!! That is so something my husband would have pulled! Too funny.
May 27th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I have read your blog before you were hosted on SITS. It has been a while but i remember your story. I am going to have to catch up to see if the adoption has been finalized. Happy SITS day!!
May 27th, 2009 at 1:53 pm

May 27th, 2009 at 2:02 pm

May 27th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
LOL!! that’s funny…i probably would have done the same thing!! :O)
May 27th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
That sounds like something my hubby, also named Ben, would do! I feel your pain SITSta!! Happy SITS Day!!
May 27th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I’m glad to know that it’s not just my husband that still thinks playing jokes on naive little me is still funny!
May 27th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Sounds like the tricks my ex used to play on me.
May 27th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
FAN-tastic, I tell you. I probably would have smacked him for it!
May 27th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
We brined (?) a turkey for Christmas last year, for the first time. It came out salty, but very moist and delicious. I’ve never heard of a honey brine.
May 27th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
That really is a Dad joke!!
May 27th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Oh Lordie! He would have been served last for THAT!
May 27th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Don’t you just want to slap them when they mess with us like that!?! That’s what we get for being so gullible…or however you spell that.
May 27th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
My kind of humor.
May 27th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
lmao – i would have so fallen for that one too
i’ve no idea what a mudroom is… is it made outta mud?
May 27th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
You have a very mean husband. Very funny, but nonetheless very mean. Glad no foreign objects made it into the cooler!
May 27th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Men think they are sooo funny sometimes. You should have punished him by not giving him any turkey!
May 27th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
That was a good one, I would’ve fallen for it, I know!
May 27th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
How funny!!
May 27th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
LOL…sounds like something my husband would say. Glad it was only the turkey though or you might have had to plan an alternate main dish for thanksgiving.
May 27th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
LOL! I’m mad I didn’t catch it sooner myself.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:29 am
I can sum this up in one word…MEN! LOL
May 28th, 2009 at 3:41 pm

May 31st, 2009 at 3:56 am
