1st

So my best friend's girlfriend cooked her first turkey this year and wouldn't allow any help or suggestions. Knowing the secrets of self-preservation, I reluctantly abided by her decree and avoided the kitchen all day long.
Sadly, I watched her 'brine' the turkey with an admixture of spices that was heavy with salt. She also added chicken bullion cubes that are nothing if not salty.
When the turkey was finally finished, it was - obviously - almost inedibly salty. The stuffing was like a salt-lick.
Being relatively courteous and sensitive to the travails of a 'first Thanksgiving', our group refrained from comment. She, naturally, could tell something was wrong.
She made a second batch of stuffing immediately, being very careful not to over-season or salt it in any way.
When we sat back down at the table, she passed the new stuffing around.
We all ate it, again - without a word. When she asked how it was, my roomie said plainly:
"It could use some salt."
