    available. Suckers
    can fly. So whe they insist on doing a slow waddle across a road is
    very beyond my understanding.

    It's simple. They don't give a shi** about traffic and will happily
    hold it up for hours. When you try to shoo them away they pull a gun
    on you. Most of the Canadian Geese got their weapons when they joined street gangs in the DPRT.

    Facetiously done you loquatious rascal. The Canuckistan Geese here are NOT packing since President Musk would't like it. When I come up on a goose stepping parade across a street I do slow down to give them a chance to demonstrate their flight patterns. And many times they get clean away.
    Other time, Oooooopsie, not sorry 'bout that. Instant road kill. <VBEG>

    Laugh. They outright attack moving cars and people here.

    LOL. I wish we could take down a few hundred thousand of the shitting
    buggers, but I can't.

    The maintenance guy at my credit union was out hosing down the walks as
    I approached the front doors. When I mentioned he might be "jumping the
    season" just a (it (it was 45oF) he started in of the "Effffing Geese" and
    the amounts of poo they deposit on his sidewalks - making therm slick as
    as snot on a doorknob as well as unsightly.

    I told him to get a 9 iron (golf club) and see how far he could launch
    a few heads. Told him "It won't solve the problem but it might make you
    feel better."

    Title: Quebec-style Roast Goose
    Categories: Game, Poultry, Stuffing, Wine
    Yield: 7 Servings

    10 sl White Bread
    1 c Dried currants
    4 lg Apples; peeled, sliced
    1 tb Dried thyme
    4 tb Melted butter
    1 tb Oil
    10 lb Goose
    1 lg Onion; chopped
    1 lg Carrot; chopped
    1 Rib celery; chopped
    1 cl Garlic; minced
    1 Bay leaf
    3 Whole cloves
    1 Sprig fresh thyme
    1 Sprig fresh marjoram
    1/4 c White wine
    1 ts Tomato paste
    10 oz Can chicken bouillon

    Make stuffing by combining bread, currants, apples,
    thyme, salt, pepper and melted butter.

    Stuff, truss and tie goose. Prick bird all over with
    fork. Heat oil in roasting pan on top of stove, brown
    goose lightly on all sides, then drain off pan drippings.

    Set goose breast side up, add a little water, cover and
    roast at 375oF for one hour.

    Combine chopped onion, carrot, celery, the garlic, bay
    leaf, cloves, thyme and marjoram. Discard fat from
    roasting pan*, add vegetable mixture and continue
    roasting uncovered 20 - 25 minutes per pound (three to
    four hours in all) draining off fat at intervals and
    adding more water as required.

    Transfer cooked goose to platter and keep warm. Skim off
    remaining fat in pan and heat dripping and vegetables on
    top of stove until mixture is reduced. Then stir in white
    wine, tomato paste and chicken bouillon.

    Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, then strain gravy. A little
    cornstarch mixed with water may be blended in to thicken
    gravy, if desired.

    Serve goose with gravy, applesauce, mashed potatoes and
    braised cabbage.

    Makes six to eight servings.
