Goose grease makes best roasted potatoes

I have a LOT of geese... how do you handle the plucking, Bantam?

Have you tried adding flour before it's boiling?

I used to get lumps in my gravy, but I'm not sure how I did that... I think maybe trying to add dry flour to it because of it not thickening enough? It's possible to sprinkle in a bit of flour very finely & not make a big blob... or lumps. This doesn't work well (for me) with corn starch, but I'm thinking you really aren't interested in corn starch lumps...

LOL I don't worry about lumps so long as it doesn't taste raw. Just wondering if the magical elf trys things the opposite of how normal people avoid lumps, he can replicate his mother's lumps

I do my cooking fast very very fast...

which means high heat...scorch or burn stuff a lot but it’s done fast... which might be while I get lumps..


The dirty messy pans never bother me, I have a wife to take care of that stuff...

One of the reasons that I didn't marry one particular woman was because she told me that she wasn't doing dishes for any man.

Seems fair to me... if one cooks the other can clean up...share the work.

There is a lot more to the story that I can't share.
