bet you have more respect for our ancestors who baked dinners in wood stoves... I am always amazed when I think about stuff like that!!

It was delicious and a good meal was had by all. We served stuffing and green cabbage with it. Yes, it was very greasy. We decided to boil it in salt water for a few minutes rather than putting it in brine for 12 hours. That resulted in a small mishap when my son-in-law decided to turn it over in the pot so the fat would cook out of it evenly. When he tried to pick it up with a meat fork and tongs, he got the top of it a little too close to the flame and it caught fire. We got it out quickly by coating it with salt. It required a lot of basting throughout its cooking time We rubbed it inside and out with a mixture of fresh rosemary, marjoram, sage, and margarine, salt and pepper. We cooked and basted him for four hours, let it sit for a few minutes and then carved it and dived into it. The only person who didn't like it was my daughter who doesn't like turkey either. It was good and sweet. Cleanup was nota breeze though because of Happy New Year Everybody! Barbthe grease it exuded. All and all, it was a fun experience. abre ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anna" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2009 7:50 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] cooking a goose > Hi, I cooked a duck once.
