The perfect Turkey

Good Evening!
     I have found the way to produce the perfect turkey. This year I was able to replicate a turkey that I made about four years ago. This turkey was moist and flavorful and I am normally not a turkey fan. Here is what we did and I am open to any suggestions you may have.

1. We didn't defrost the turkey until the night before. We left it out on the counter for about 12 hours (this was a 20lb turkey so I think lighter it is the less time you should leave the turkey out).
2. I generously sprinkled salt and pepper on the turkey.
3. Added 1/2 cup to the bottom of the pan.
4. Every 30 minutes I would baste the turkey.
5. THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 1/2 CUP OF WATER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COOKING PAN AT ALL TIMES!!
6. If it gets too brown on the breast, wrap the turkey in foil.

NAILED IT!

Montana 2012

What's up internet! Been way too long. I just got back from a mission trip. We went to go help out with the Turkey Feed for the Crow Indian tribe up in Montana. It was a good trip but I learned some things about myself. First I do not think I am very happy where my life is at right now. On this trip I felt so.....alive....that is the best word. I felt ALIVE! It felt good to see the talents God has given to me being put to work. To see that my work is benefiting other people. Second, it astounds me that we as American citizens have turned our back on the American tribes. We took their land, we killed their people and either though we have apologized, we do not offer a hand. Run down houses, dogs running in wild packs, horses wondering from yard to yard. These people need a visionary and I do not think it is going to come from the inside ( I could be wrong). They need a leader who takes pride in the Crow Agency community and is willing to see projects through. That she or he stays through point A and point Z. The Crow people are friendly and family oriented. Everyone knows everyone. They help each other and support each other to the best of their ability. They need someone who can focus that and turn it into good. Last, it was awesome to see a friend grow into a leader. She has always had a good heart and a good soul. There is nothing you can do to her that will change her love for you. She is that person that if you hurt her, you feel like crap. Anyways she is a great person...attractive inside and out. Ann thank you for this opportunity.

Good night internet,
