Recommend to me... 1. a movie 2. a book 3. a musical artist, song, or album 4. a LiveJournal user not on my friend's list 5. what I should have for dinner 6. a website and put it in a comment and then put this in your journal
Roast Duck! Yes! If only someone would appear with one (but perhaps you weren't around when I wrote about duck (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mamculuna/896.html)
I am waiting with longing for Hero(and might even call on you for tape, if it doesn't come here soon!), but Triplets will be here in two weeks. Ah, the pleasures of the living in outer darkness.
OK, I'm going to look for the book. I think you've already told me about several other good ones. and the music too.
Well, eventually it turned out that I could. But not in the Chinese style, though maybe I'll learn that someday (my son's partner's father is a great Chinese cook--and yes, he is Chinese himself, not just the food!). The new Joy of Cooking and *blush* the Martha Stewart Cookbook make this kind of thing fairly easy. What one very good duck cook told me is that it's really important to thaw frozen ducks (the only kind I can get here, except when my hunter brother-in-law gets lucky) very slowly in the fridge over several days, not to speed-thaw in warm water, or worse, microwave. But I've had some disasters! Raw duck! Dried out duck! Duck three hours late AND dried out!

You can roast your own duck? I am quite bowled over with admiration ;).
Maybe more than you want to know!
Re: Maybe more than you want to know!
I think I will try to master more basics of cooking before I try something like that! Or just get it from the local supermarkets ;).
