Turkey cooking tips you need to know
Taking its temperature

Roasting a turkey is not something most of us do regularly and tricks like jiggling the leg, using the 15-minutes-a-pound rule, or even keeping your eye on that plastic popper are just not exact enough to make sure you don't get all of your guests sick.

All sorts of factors from fridge temperature to oven accuracy will affect how your bird cooks.
An instant read thermometer is your friend here.

You can know that your turkey is done cooking when you insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of its thigh, without touching the bone, and the temperature reads 165°F.

Its juices should also run clear when this part of its thigh is pierced with the tip of a knife.

Turkey cooking tips you need to know
Letting it rest

Letting the bird, or any piece of meat, rest allows the juices, moisture, to redistribute.
If you carve too soon, the liquid will be mostly on the cutting board and your meat will be dry.

So, don't make the mistake of rushing the resting period.
When you take it out of the oven, carefully tilt the turkey to empty the juices from the cavity into the pan.
You'll want to save these juices for your gravy.
Transfer the turkey to a carving board set within a rimmed baking sheet.

This will catch the bird's juices while it rests and as you're carving, which you can also add to your gravy, and won't have to mop off the floor.
Cover loosely with foil and let the turkey rest at least 30 minutes before carving.

Weird but clever uses of white vinegar
Keeping your cat from scratching the furniture

Cats like to scratch furniture to prevent their nails from painfully overgrowing.
As they don’t like vinegar and will avoid coming in contact with it, it makes a great option for keeping felines from scratching up your furniture.

-dilute the vinegar in water inside of a spray bottle, using a 50/50 ratio
-spray a small amount on the area that your cat tends to scratch

If you have a problem with cats using your yard or other outdoor areas as a toilet, you can also soak a sponge in vinegar and place it there to keep them away.

You may also want to spray the area down with vinegar too.

Being in the Present Moment Guide
Getting into Nature

Taking a walk in the park, in the woods, sitting by a stream, and gardening are simple ways to take a break from daily life. If you can’t manage this during the week, manage it on the weekend. Being immersed in nature allows you to break the cycle of constantly thinking and interacting and allows you to enter into the flow of the natural world.

Being in nature is a handy reminder that life is cyclic, that things are constantly in flux and ever-changing. Everything comes into being, lives a life, and dies. We need to understand that this applies to the events of our life, as well as our thoughts and feelings.
