| Acorn Squash Soup |
SQUASH SOUP FOR ONE (or 2 not so hungry people) 1 small acorn squash 2 large cloves garlic 1 cup or more vegetable stock 1/2 tsp. Liquid Aminos (110 mg sodium) or salt, optional 1/4 tsp. black pepper and sage dash cayenne dash Tabasco sauce (for the adventurous) 1/2 cup cooked wild rice
Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds. Cover the bottom of a baking dish with 1/2 inch water, place the squash in it (face down) along with the garlic. Cook at 350 for 35 minutes. When the squash has cooled, scoop out the flesh and puree in a blender with baked garlic and vegetable stock. Place the puree in a small sauce pan along with spices and wild rice. Heat on low until the soup is hot. I highly recommend lots of Tabasco for a soup that packs a punch!

| An Absolutely Perfect Roast Goose!+ |
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
