My beautiful bird (minus the piece I sampled before I remembered to take a picture....)

All the food...my bird, stuffing, and corn pudding, plus all the dishes our friends brought. Good eatin'!

The bird turned out perfectly. I ended up doing the brine, then rinsing her off with cool water, then giving her a good rinse with very hot water. Some aromatics in the cavity, some rosemary under the skin, and some herb butter on the outside, and then into the oven. Thanks so much for all the advice!
Love,
Sabrina
