It has loads of fat, but it's unsaturated fat, so it's used for cooking in Europe.

They are hard to come by in south Florida and rather pricey, but I found a source in ND (!) that delivers a pre-cooked goose for less than a fresh, uncooked one from Whole Foods.

We usually celebrate with friends on Christmas Eve but are doing it on Friday this year, instead, and I won't have my sons home until 9 tomorrow morning. So eggnog and a good book sounds like the plan for tonight. Luckily I have a stack of good books, some by authors on this very blog, waiting for me.
