Turkey Breast, a la Herself as freely transcribed by Himself.

Take approx 7 Lb (3 Kg) turkey breast. Thaw (if frozen). Coat with mixture of ground black pepper, papprika, and onion powder. Stuff the cavity with cranberries (fresh if available, canned acceptible), place in clean bucket. Pour over breast cranberry liquour (made at home preferably, mixture of vodka and cranberry juice), seal lid, place in refrigerator to marinade 24 hours.

Remove from bucket, pour out cranberries. Place turkey breast on rotisserie spit, and cook in rotisserie for 10 minutes per pound (approx. 22 minutes / Kg) until done. Temperature? Hm, that's a tougher one. I'm not sure our little rotisserie has a temperature control. It's a separate oven unto itself. Herself says, conventional oven 300F / 150C but still, until done. Baste with marinade cranberry liquour.

Oh. My. God.

Oh... Cranberry Liquour.
Fresh berries approx .5 Kg / 1 Lb. (Whole canned, cooked cranberries may be substitued if fresh absolutely not available)
500 Ml cranberry juice (The Good Stuff, undiluted & pure)
500 Ml 80 proof Vodka

Place in sealed jar, shake 1x daily for 10 days
Pour into saucepot (3 L or 3 Qt), place on stove on medium - medium high heat. Add something between 4 cups to 12 cups sugar, depending on taste for sweetness. Dissolve all sugar into liquid. Let cool. Bottle. Seal. Save for when you reeeaaally reeeaaally want it.

I've seen a comment from one of the Flist Folk as to the temperature a couple hours (by road) south-west of us. Heh; I'll see your 58 and Lower you 8. Plus a fairly steady rain, a touch of thunder recently, and it's a very nice day to stay inside.

Which I've not totally done. Went over to the North Wing (as it were) to Studio 318 to continue working on one of the old PC's over there; the hard drive is now completely formatted (two partitions) and some more software installed. Unfortunately (or not, depends on point of view) the Norton schtuph wants to connect to the Internet or it will stop working in 15 days, despite my entering the product code. It's unfortunate because that computer is not connected to the Internet. No phone lines to Studio 318, so it's Off the 'Net. Since I'd like to keep the Norton working I guess I'll haul the durn thing over to the South Wing (as it were) and connect, but not right away.

We're off to some friends this evening for a Solstice party; only about a mile up the road, not a major haul. I'm making a traditional offering for the party, commonly called Cheesy Piggie. Those of you who've been reading a year or more will recognize the concoction, and I'm not going into details just now. Suffice it to say it's actually fairly simple to make, just involved. The recipe starts off with, "First, raise the pig. Second, slaughter the pig and make sausage." Et Cetera.

Other than that, not a lot happening. About to do some more life-straightening things and that's it.
