I have never tasted goose! It sounds so exotic to me! I hope you take a picture of your table, I’d love to see it!

In Germany you either roast a goose with potato dumplings and red cabbage and/or kale, or or carp or serve sausages with potato salad for Christmas
Goose is very fat ( I like fat ) and tastes a bit like duck

A few days ago we were discussing cakes that take a few weeks to cure,.
I made the Gingerbread cake I mentioned. Mity
The good thing about this cake,,,,,, It keeps well for extended time. Most of my other cakes, are less desirable as days pass. Some do dry out. others do require refrigeration.
So I will be baking my other cakes, Day Before serving.
Don't misunderstand. My cakes do hold for a few days,,, but this Gingerbread cake holds over for few weeks.

Anyone bake? Getting ready for Christmas here, making Romanian traditionals, (parents are Romanian.) Even if you are not Romanian, you really should make stuffed cabbage, or salada de bouef, both are so amazing!! Planning on making two loaves of bread tomorrow, as well as ribs and deviled eggs.

We are not Romanian ether,,,, but do make Stuffed cabbage occasionally.
And I looked up Salata de Bouef. It is a sald made with beef, pork, or chicken meat. Contains root veggies as well..
We make something almost identical,,, MINUS the meat.

I made grownies yesterday. I made a change, and at first I thought it was going to be a disaster.

I wanted the oats to be less chewy, so I added 1 cup of water. This made it into a cake batter.

So I baked it (a LOT longer) and made grownie cake. I added extra raisins to try to soak up the moisture and thicken it, but that didn't really work. The batter sat on the counter for several hours, then I gave up and baked it. It's actually tasty this way, and I'll do it again, I think.

Perhaps letting the water soak into the oats for 30-60 minutes before adding anything else would save you frustration.
Or, grind the oats into flour before making the original recipe.
