I've always wanted to cook a goose for Christmas. But every time I mention it, folks revolt! They want turkey for Thanksgiving and prime rib roast for Christmas. I never win.
Maybe this year.......

I didn't know that! I usually only have 4 or 6 of us fro Christmas lately. Will an average goose feed that many?
I took great pains to search out an up country butcher / specialty shop - they actually raise most of what they sell . . .
show up at the shop, pushing Christmas time:
me: Hi, I' like a fresh goose.
them: okay - but fresh at this time of year isn't the best. we can sell you a nice frozen one or I'll get Larry, he'll take you out to the pens and you can pick one....
it just barely fed two adults and three pre-teenage kids . . . I just nibbled away the "leftovers" while doing dishes rather than actually strip the carcass and 'store' them.

I have never prepared a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. I have always wanted to but usually my grandmother or mother wants to make the meal. I want to at some point and I would probably use the 2-Hour Turkey recipe from the Safeway Thanksgiving site. The cool thing about this recipe on our site is that it has a step by step guide and a how to video to help you along. Would you try this too? Here is the recipe Safeway - Thanksgiving - Recipes

Hey Style Crab Cakes are so easy and they taste wonderful so it is a reward when you do make them! Do you ever make Salmon Croquets? Well that is exactly the recipe I use for crab cakes only I substitute a Crab Meat for the Salmon, and I add a touch of Old Bay Seasoning. Works like a charm! Give it a try sometimes
Also I make mine a tad thinner so they a thinner and more rounder than my Salmon Croquets and I dress them up by serving them with a nice rich Roumalaude Sauce drizzled lightly on top and some Alfalfa Sprouts, also a lemon wedge served with the as well! Yummy

I find that duck has more bone than meat and to feed a lot of guests at Thanksgiving you will need a meaty meat

I've always wanted to make a souffle. I just never do because you have to make it and then hurry up and eat it. My husband doesn't think he will like souffle (not that he has ever had it). So if I make it I have to eat the whole thing myself in one sitting. One day I'll make it though.

jfain, did you order Louise Pickford's "The Inspired Vegetarian"? If I remember correctly she has a couple of incredible souffles in that book- a blue cheese souffle- and even a parsnip one.

No I don't have that one but it looks good. I'm always interested in vegetarian cook books. We eat vegetarian at least 1 time a week and I'm always looking for new and exciting recipes. I think I'll look for it at my half price books. Thanks!

jfain- click on the link... used copies are currently available starting at just 22 cents! it's a small hardcover book and it has tons of photos w/ some of the most beautiful food-styling I've ever seen. -Kevin
Yeah I saw the link I just get irritated about all the shipping but it will probably take me a month to find the time to get to half price books so I may as well bite the bullet.

It's always $3.99 for S&H for any sized used book. I don't think $3.99 is ever unreasonable- no matter how small the book- not when it's over 40 cents just to mail a holiday card!
And in fact, I often order the huge coffee-table style books and I almost feel like I'm stealing! Especially when the book itself is mere pennies or a couple bucks! BTW- let me share THESE two BUYS!
I sent these two books to several friends this Christmas (the Martha Stewart Gardening one is a 4 lb. $50.00 book I bought five of for under $2.00 each, and the Walt Disney one is a 6 lb. $75.00 book I bought four of for under five bucks each!!!) :
