Christmas Day Part 3 – my goose is cooked

25 December 2010 by Dominic Franks

… so I walked over to our local yesterday and picked up my goose… and she’s a HUGE bird… carrying her back in the snow was a very real Christmas moment… arms aching and brain spinning with ideas… and the second she got home I realised i’d made my first big mistake… goose was too big for the roasting pan… well, to be honest, goose was too big for Christmas!

… now you may think this is sacrelige on Christmas Day but I thought about lunch, my pocket and ever expanding waist line and then I got out the carving knife and have created a big enough feast for today plus enough to go into the freezer for 3 more meals (yes it was that big a bird!)… she took a lot of sweat and tears but I finally got her down to a size to fit into my largest pan and prepped her for the cooking…

… and isn’t she a beauty!… so proud…

… all that’s left for me to do is unbutton the trouser and breathe…

Merry Christmas once again to you all… x

    She looked like a beauty. And what a great variety of yummy vegetables. In my family we have eating pants. You should get yourself a pair and feel my pure eating joy is all about.lol

    I think it was a brilliant idea to freeze your goose for some additional meals! You should try wearing drawstring pants for the holidays LOL!!! Happy Christmas!

    LOVE the three posts Dom – fantastic idea. Everything looks delicious – if I wasn't so stuffed from our dinner I might be a bit jealous!!!!!

    Glad to hear you didn't consume the whole goose on your own. My mother always does goose and it usually feeds a goodly number. Your dinner looks lovely – think I'm going to have to do a proper Christmas dinner as I missed out on the meal proper.
