a ducky problem

Jul 15, 2005 20:27

Nick's back tomorrow! Yay!!

I went grocery shopping after work to make something nice for dinner tomorrow night and I came across duck! It was like so uncommon to find duck in supermarkets here that I couldn't help but buy one! Now that the HUGE thing is happily thawing in the sink I'm struck by the sudden realization that I do not know what to do ( Read more... )

What to do with a whole duck...erm. Resuscitate it and set it free?

GEP reunion dinner later this evening. This should be interesting.

No no of course not. This is for only my batch. People from which I keep running into at the most unexpected times. And from their bemused looks I can tell I'm even more of an alien to them than I was in the past, heh. Like when I met my class chairman - Lynette, that's Qingyan - at Ikea with her 11-month-old son, I said that I was there with my fellow actors for lunch after my show, and she was like, "Actus? What company is that? Where is it?"

Like I said, tonight will be interesting.

Wow. Who put that together? I can't wait for my own reunion - we didn't do a 5-yr, maybe we'll do a 10 - all these people I used to like so much and now haven't seen in FOREVER!

And I do actually think I know a company called Actus. We dealt with them when we were moving into this house a long time ago. Could've been a furniture store, or a drapers, or a contractor... no, definitely furniture store, the more I think about it.

Do you have a pot big enough to hold the whole duck? Can try to braise the entire duck, and freeze portions which you can't finish.

OH!!! THAT'S RIGHT!!! sorry for screaming but I totally forgot that was how my mum made it one time. Oddly enough, I *DO* have kiam chye... but I don't want to make a dish that's best eaten with rice (Atkins and all). But you score TOP points for the best answer!
