Don't get me wrong, American-chinese food is edible (and in some cases, tasty)... just the delivery and price points are different. My preference is for asian-chinese as I prefer the wok-hei (for the most part) that the american-chinese just doesn't deliver. But if that's what is presented, that's what I'll eat.

Christmas dinner with friends...it takes a village to get a simple meal on the table. A village and 2 meat thermometers, one oven thermometer, 4 cosmopolitans, and much debating. But it was great...prime rib, Yorkshire puddings, roasted potatoes, creamed spinach with pancetta, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

My Christmas Day feast was very similar to Corky's, except I probably had eaten that amount equal to the entire plate of prime rib on that image all by myself. We also had goose (out of tradition, I suppose) and bunch of sides & desserts guests had brought over.

Never, ever again!
Yesterday was a lot easier. Broiled some thick, bone in pork chops. Made a stuffing on the side, and green beans.

I tried to roast a goose a few years ago. My son insisted that he wanted to try it, so I ordered one from the butcher and began roasting. About half way through cooking, all of the fat which was melting began to smoke in the oven. The next few hours were spent with windows open, smoke pouring out, neighbors coming over out of concern, and hard wired fire alarms going off.

Lol, Might I suggest a chinese meat shop or asian supermarket (with a hot food section)? Many will have roasted goose on sale (in addition to the other roasted/BBQ'ed meats). You could order one in advance if you want. Some western supermarkets also sell roasted goose, but I don't see those very often.

My son and I have wanted a Christmas goose ever since we enjoyed it while visiting Germany and Austria during Advent.
There's no way I would cook a goose for just the two of us and I suspect my wife and daughter would leave the house for the day (or more) if I ever tried to cook it here at home.
Anyone up for goose and raiding the wine fridge some day next Christmas season? LOL.

We have bought and roasted a frozen supermarket goose several times. No special technique, just like a chicken or turkey. No grease fires or excess smoke. We find the breast meat quite good. The rest of the bird, not so much, and most is tossed. One of my favorite meals in Germany was goose breast, red cabbage/apples, and potato dumplings.

15 February trips in Nuernberg and I never had goose. Tons of beloved pork and other great Franconian cuisine. No goose. Sad!

Perhaps a regional thing. All my time in Germany was spent between Mannheim, Heidelberg and Schwetzingen. Far from Nuremberg. Goose was always a one day a week thing. I forget which day, but it was always popular.
