Garnishing Dishes - cjs - 07-22-2016 This was such a fun semester in school! I looked thru my log for a good diagram for making Crookneck geese and I can't find it, so this will have to suffice - hope you can make heads or tails of it. Also, saw these pictures going thru the book and these were fun, also. Pineapple Goose Watermelon Carving How to – Crookneck Goose I think I forgot to write on the paper the hat is made of a salami slice. Re: Garnishing Dishes - Mare749 - 07-22-2016 Thank you! That looks easy enough. Katie is going to be all over this one. A few questions: Do you need a second squash on hand to cut the wings, or are they cut out of the same piece? Do you break toothpicks in half to attach the pieces? What about the hat? Is there a pick holding that on? Re: Garnishing Dishes - cjs - 07-22-2016 No second squash - the wings are cut out of the sides just thick enough for a pick (break picks so smaller lengths to hold things together) Sometimes the hat will stay on just from the stickiness of the salami, but when the slices are too thick (as mine were) I needed to help with a pick. Same with the beak - a short pick stuck in both. You know where these really look good ( and I know I have pictures somewhere!!!) For parties where there were going to be a lot of children, I topped potato salad with a winding road of chopped crispy bacon and put the goose at the start of the path. Shrubs were green onion flowers - I'll see if I can find any of the pictures. The kids loved it! Re: Garnishing Dishes - Mare749 - 07-22-2016 I would love to see them! What a fun idea. Katie and Abby love to make their dishes look pretty, so this is something I'll have to look into further because I know they would really enjoy it. Re: Garnishing Dishes - cjs - 07-22-2016 Maryann, I'm going to send you some of my garnishing books for them. You know I'm stillTRYING to downsize!
