    Title: French Canadian Pea Soup
    Categories: Canadian, Soups, Vegetables, Pork
    Yield: 8 Servings

    1 lb Dried peas
    8 c Water
    1/2 lb Salt pork-all in one piece
    1 Onion, large;chopped
    1/2 c Celery;chopped
    1/4 c Carrots;grated
    1/4 c Parsley; fresh,chopped
    1 Bay leaf;small
    1 ts Savory, dried
    Salt and Pepper

    "Newfoundland Pea Soup is very similar, but usually includes more
    vegetables such as diced turnips and carrots, and is often topped with
    small dumplings. This soup is very good reheated.. The most authentic
    version of Quebec's soupe aux pois use whole yellow peas, with salt
    pork and herbs for flavour. After cooking, the pork is usually
    chopped and returned to the soup, or sometimes removed to slice
    thinly and served separately. Instead of fresh or dried herbs, herbes
    salees (herbs preserved with salt) are often used; they are available
    commercially or made at home. Pea soup remains a popular dish in
    restaurants where tourists enjoy a true taste of old Quebec. In some
    variations, a little garlic, leeks, other vegetables or a ham bone
    are added for flavour. For a thicker consistency (though this is not
    traditional) a cup or two of cooked peas can be pureed then returned
    to the soup."

    Wash and sort peas; soak in cold water overnight. Drain and place in a
    large pot; add water, parsley, salt pork, onion, celery, carrots,
    parsley, bay leaf, savory and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil; reduce
    heat and simmer until peas are very tender, about 2 hours, adding
    more water if needed. Remove salt pork; chop and return to soup.
    Discard bay leaf. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Oh no. Tell her I feel for her, if my doctor make me give up dairy I really don't know what I would do. Cheese and Whey powder are my main sources of protein. I still use meat broth for things, but don't eat a whole lot of
    flesh anymore. Fish and chicken liver sits well so I eat that, and bacon if it's crisp. Other then that flesh tends to make me feel miserable.

    Title: An Absolutely Perfect Roast Goose!
    Categories: Information, Poultry
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 10 to 12 lb. goose either
    -fresh or frozen and thawed

    I have made a Thanksgiving goose every year for at least 15 years. I
    have steadily gained on making the perfect bird but I finally found
    the greatest recipe ever in Cook's Magazine. The divine part of this
    approach to cooking the goose is that it employs some of the eastern
    method of drying the skin which is used in Peking Duck. The skin
    simply drops all its fat and leaves a crispy, dry, delectable skin
    that folks fight over! No more rubbery, yucky goose skin full of fat!

    A frozen goose is perfectly adequate. Have thawed 24 to 48 hours
    before the meal (48 is better.) Prick the goose well all over,
    especially on the breast and on the upper legs, holding the skewer
    almost paralel with the bird so as to avoid piercing the flesh. Fill
    a very large pot 2/3 full of water (pot should be large enough to
    almost accomodate the bird) and bring to a boil. Using rubber gloves
    submerge bird (neck side down) for 1 minute (till goose bumps arise.)
    Repeat the process (this time with the tail side down.) Drain the
    goose, breast side up on a rack in a large roasting pan and set in
    the refrigerator, naked, to dry the skin for 24 to 48 hours.

    When you are ready to roast the bird, on the big day. Make your
    favorite stuffing. I made one in "94" that seemed to be well liked.
    The night before Thanksgiving I cooked 1 1/2 cups (raw) wild rice in
    about 5 cups of water. Drained and chilled overnight. In the morning
    I added soaked, cut up dry shitake mushrooms along with their soaking
    water with an egg beaten into it. A tablespoon of poultry seasoning,
    a sauteed onion, plenty of salt and freshly ground pepper.

    Now you salt and pepper the bird insdie and out, liberally. Preheat
    the oven to 325 degrees while you are stuffing and sewing up the
    bird. Place it in the oven in a roaster and on a rack on it's breast.
    For a 12 1/3 lb. goose I needed a full 5 hours but this is quite a
    large bird. Just close the oven and let it stay, undisturbed for 1
    1/2 hours. After this time, take it out of the oven. Use a baster to
    draw out the fat that has accumulated in the bottom of the pan
    (schmaltz lovers, send up a cheer) You can strain this fat through a
    coffee filter, putting the schmaltz in small bottles which keep very
    well in the freezer for up to a year.) Turn the bird over on its back
    before you put it back in the oven. put it back in for another hour
    before you start checking for doneness. The recipe gave the best
    advice on checking for doneness, at this point, that I have ever
    seen. With a piece of terry rag, squeeze the upper drumstick (not
    thigh) lightly. If it feels kind of squishy, like roast beef, it's
    done. Every bird is different so you must judge when it is done. When
    meat is done (be patient, it may take a while), raise the heat to 400
    degrees. Remove roaster from the oven and transfer bird (rack and
    all) to a jelly roll pan. Put it back in the oven for 15 minutes to
    further crisp and brown the bird. Take it out and let it sit,
    uncovered for a half an hour.

    Regarding the roaster, after you remove the bird to a jelly roll pan
    and put that in the oven, remove the fat from the roaster and put it
    over 2 burners adding about 2/3 cup of dry sherry and deglaze the pan
    with a wooden spoon. combine these drippings with your giblet broth
    either to make a gravy or to use later for goose carcass, slow cooker
    broth.

    Something topical:

    Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

    The difference between knowlege and wisdom: knowledge is knowing that a
    tomato is a fruit and wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato into a fruit
    salad.

    1. Place the rinsed beans in a bowl, add 2 to 3 cups of water and soak
    overnight. Check the beans occasionally and add water as necessary to
    keep them moist. 2. Pour the beans and the water in which they were
    soaked into a heavy saucepan and add 2 to 3 more cups of water. Bring
    to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower heat and simmer,
    partially covered, for about 45 minutes, until the beans are cooked
    but still firm. Check occasionally and add water if necessary. Drain
    the beans, reserving the cooking liquid. 3. Melt the lard in a heavy
    skillet over medium heat. Add the beans and lightly fry them in the
    lard. Set aside. 4. Melt the drippings in a large heavy pot over
    medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it is translucent. 5.
    Combine the sausage and the beef with all the spices up through the
    oregano. Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pot with the onion.
    Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, until
    the meat is very well browned. 6. Add the reserved bean-cooking
    liquid to the pot. Stir in all the remaining ingredients. Bring to a
    boil, then lower the heat and cook, uncovered, for 1/2 hour longer.
    Stir occasionally. Add water only if necessary to maintain the
    consistency of a chunky soup. 7. Taste when curiosity becomes
    unbearable and courage is strong. Adjust seasonings.
