An Absolutely Perfect Roast Goose!

I've destroyed any number of goose dinners and pulled out enough hair to stuff an army pillow over it. I hadn't tried the big birds again for years until I came across this recipe just before Christmas. To say that I was pleased with the way it came out would be an understatement. Just as promised, a moist, flavorful bird with crispy skin that we all fought over. The aroma from that oven put a feral glint in the eyes of my dogs the likes of which I haven't seen since they treed a possum last summer. I can't find the name of whomever submitted this recipe but whoever you are, thanks a million!
