I have it on good authority that I was good enough this year to be able to expect a copy in my stocking.

While you are waiting for that ham, you need munchies - mix 2 parts by volume cream cheese with 1 part slightly drained crushed pineapple - stuff into celery sticks, but press a groove in the middle of the cream cheese mixture. Put some red hot pepper jelly in a small ziplock bag, massaage enough to make "flowy", cut off a snip on one corner and pipe along the groove. (If playing with your jelly bothers you, you can melt the jelly a little in a microwave instead)

We seem to forget, that until the 20's the most popular holiday fare was and still is in many parts of the world...

Golden Roasted Goose with Sage Dressing

• 1 - 12 to 14 pound goose
• 1 cup butter
• 12 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 small apple, coarsely chopped
• 6 cup coarse dry bread crumbs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 tablespoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
• ½ cup chicken stock
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• fruity (don't even go there.. ha!) white wine or cider, for basting 

Preheat oven at 400° F
1) In a skillet, melt butter add scallions, onion, celery and apple. Sauté about 10 minutes until onion is golden brown.
2) Transfer to large bowl, add bread crumbs, salt, pepper and herbs. Toss to combine, then add chicken stock and eggs. Toss again to combine ingredients.
3) Add more stock if stuffing seems too dry..
Rinse and dry goose, season cavity with salt and pepper.
4) Stuff goose loosely with dressing and truss. Prick exterior of goose all over with sharp-tined fork to allow excess fat to escape during roasting.
5) Place goose on rack in deep roasting pan, breast side up. Place in oven, roast 15 minutes, then lower temperature to 350° F. Continue roasting 20 minutes per pound or until goose is very well-browned and leg joints move easily.
6) During roasting remove any fat that accumulates in pan and baste with white wine or cider. When goose is done, remove to board loosely covered with aluminum foil for ½ hour before carving.
It's still a favorite in many homes because it's scrumptious!!!

Thou breakest mine heart - if I had one. While I await the arrival of both my soon-to-be-treasured signed cookbooks, we're still living on a diet due to Thanksgiving feasting. We're turning into Atkins people. :)

At last a ray of brightness shines through all the dispair hitting FReeper Land these days. MERRY CHRISTMAS Carlo

Recipe For Friendship

Fold two hands together
And express a dash of sorrow
Marinate it overnight
And work on it tomorrow

Chop one grudge in tiny pieces
Add several cups of love
Dredge with a large sized smile
Mix with the ingredients above

Dissolve the hate within you
By doing a good deed
Cut in and help your friend
If he should be in need

Stir in laughter, love, and kindness
From the heart it has to come
Toss with genuine forgiveness
And give your neighbor some

The amount of people served
Will depend on you
It can serve the whole wide world
If you really want it to

For cookie fans:


I recommend highly Betty Crocker "The Cooky Book". Right now there is a facsimile edition of the 1963 original selling for about 17 bucks. I mean it is intact folks--everything is the same, even the cover. It has probably most of the best loved cookies people remember from those times in it.
My mom had a gingham checked version of their regular cookbook that she got in 1969 and by the time I bought mine nearly 30 years later, they had reduced the cookie section and changed some of the recipes(guess most women just don't bake anymore). I was so pleased to get this(early Christmas gift) and find all those favorite recipes from my mom's book in there--some favorites, Chinese Almond Cookies, Candy Cane Cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, pfefferneuse---yum yum yum!!!

[DKNY]

Are the cookbooks only available on ebay? I'm lazy and don't want to do the paypal sign up procedure... if I must I will try to get over it and sign up...lol. Just have to have the cookbook.

Thanks
