poultry brine

We eat a lot of poultry because of my wife's diet, so we are always looking for new brines to enhance the flavor. We modified a recipe a great deal to come up with one which we both like. I want to try it for fish and pork in the future. The Pileated wood pecker is more interesting to look at than a pot of water or an empty place mat setting. It is not subject to brining and roasting.
