today i made a christmas goose!

mike and i hosted christmas eve dinner at our apartment in west LA. my parents, dan and gerhard attended. it was a great dinner! and the centerpiece of the dinner was the goose. originally, i was going to do a goose from scratch, but we found out that suzanne goin's tavern was selling a stuffed and trussed oven-ready goose! so, we got that instead - i still had to do all the roasting and brining though! it came out absolutely deeeelicious.. so much better than turkey in my opinion!
