Geese are a pain in the arse to raise (unlike chickens) - they are called "guard geese" for a reason. Plus the sales volume is low. The only reason ducks are cheaper now I think is because of our high Asian population who drive sales.

Wow those fries look good. We had a food truck at the garden for a while and someone gifted a batch- the guy showered wonderful minced basil over them. It was delightful!

I am in the minority "eat it" camp. Sort of Hansel & Gretel. If you are going out of edible bounds - the railrod call is great. We have a big show every year at our botanic garden and the miniature stuff they use is quite a "show".

these came to mind https://www.davidlebovitz.com/pickled-turnips-turnip-recipe/

Well my nephew was Mr . "white only" - pasta and butter usually. Now he is world traveler adventure food guy (in med school but the Assoes travel alot)- but he evolved on his own.

The power of scent can be astonishing. My avatar dog was never a food stealer but my assistant's apple - he stole when she walked away. . One year of all the presents under the tree I came out in the morning and oops he had gotten his from a relative - not even food!- a pink chew toy bone- huh?

So odd to me - never had dense meatloaf and always used my hands. Interesting.

How does one forget about duck pate?!? Nice treat.

Ya think? We are so entitled. The concept is even dried - herby (hi Herb) creamy, I often can not get to a store but I've embraced the dred guys and you can make it work Life challenges but we adapt.

Actually the skunks do that as well - the lawn mining

Clearly you have no possum and raccoon issues - mine always disappear...magically overnght!

Like undesrable mold on cheese - just cut the burned bits off :)i

braved it despite dad parking mini tractor up against the storage crates - 911 was not callled Looking forward to images of your and yours efforts.

Gingerbread houses are a big theme on Hallmark. Here is just one. It speaks to the appeal of the concept

Duh "google". Here is a link to the book cover.. Still gonna try to find it..Black widows are really not so deadly (meant seriously - they are not) .... https://www.amazon.com/cooking-Germany-Foods-world/dp/B0006W3P0E

I love them as I am a holiday village fanatic and adore the fantastical element. I've never used a kit. The first year I must have been 16 because I drove myself to the hospital to deliver to children's ward. I also made one for the neighbor's big Christmas party. Their theme was Japanese but they liked my fantasy more Euro house. This was all pre taking photos of everything so I have no images unfortunately. I can still see them in my head. As I recll the dough needs to be slightly aged and very cold and firm. It truly would have been more fun to do in a group to afford a more extensive array of candy to decorate. I may ask a friend who has twin 6 year old great grand chidren if they want to give it a go this year. Oh the "glue" - I think Italian meringeis the preferred 'glue" .Oh and the rule i was raised on is that it all needs to be edible and then be eaten There s a Time Life Foods of the World with one on the cover. I am braving the hinterlands of the garage to try to find it. "Ginger on"

You are an ER doc - crisis adaptation is your forte.

Yup - sheep on the seashore. My shepherd fiend who tended in north Engand where the plains would flood - it was the available fodder.

You killed it with the phrase "bottled Kraft" - not so much in the lust category

Hmm - she is a tiny tiny bit traditional.

A nun at the local retreat center did similar but much more simple (no spices) soup when we were assembling backpacks for distressed women. I think the apple and its type are the key. I do not usually enjoy smooth soups but this was good.

Oh I thnk even DK would approve - though mashed beans might be needed. alongside

I'm a lawyer - reasonable counter offers often work

Interesting! I had rad about cattle emissions but the percentage is startling. I think seaweed (not just nori) is the next hot trend for humans as well.. Aquaculture implemented with knowledgable scientists is the way to go. California bull kelp forests are a mess https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191021082738.htm
