I cooked a duck last night
I love cooking duck, but there was a moment of hesitation when I pulled the darling from the package. I reached for the phone and called John the chef, who's now in Hawaii. No answer. I set the beauty on low and take the dog for a walk to pick up mike. Return. The mushrooms and onions have carmelized and the duck has charred a bit. Oh Fall. Steamed greens with soy, balsamic and olive oil, and rice simmered in duckness. John calls.
Me: salt and pepper, mushrooms, onions, butter on low.
John: mmmm. You got it.
tomorrow split pea soup with the biggest piece of bacon I've ever seen.
