Tried to tapatalk before but it wouldn't go through and neither did my post from the pc. . .

Duck doing well in the bbq along with a pan full of roasting vegetables - used red wine (Kadarka), . . . .  from the garden: parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; from the cupboard: a big bay leaf and some peppercorns.  Used a stainless steel drinking bottle with a wide neck - it was a little short but not to worry.

Have photos on my iphone but can't figure out how to post them from tapatalk and have no idea of how to post from the pc either :'(  Hope to work it out sometime or other . . .

Smells wonderful and looking forward to see how it all works out.
Many thanks, Gert.  . . your tutorial was excellent!!

Cooking duck is easy. Well at least an unrefined one.

Gert your duck looked lovely, if a little stressed with the can up his backside. Hi Mr Gert, you look as though your are enjoying the duck.  Gert, Mercury cider is lovely. I liked your choice of rose too.

Chookie I think I can smell your cooking.

Love that wine. Wish we could  afford to drink it more often.  The duck meal is quite inexpensive for two as it cost only $16 . Think what it would cost in a restaurant for just the breast.

Goldfish what is happening.

Chookie did the duck stretch?

Shazzy we look,forward to your tomorrow.


Enjoyed the day. What fun.

Gert.

Yikes you better leave it on the sink tonight not the fridge. Mine took two days to defrost. In any case you can cook it from frozen so long as you can shove the can up it's bum.

Hope it is all wunnerful.

Well goldfish I am happy as so many love to eat duck and so many try to make it seen elite and really it is no different from anything. Yes  cooking a bit of breast of duck on MasterChef is a big deal and yes it is  wonderful but once you have handled it and tossed it on the Barbie you get the hang of it  and start to finess it. Treat it rough and then start to think about it  and other dishes. No mystery about it. You can use duck in so many  ways.

Now on to goat. I love goat.

Well it was beautiful and moist as well as being tender.   also ended up with a cup of beautiful duck fat. Duck size was 21,  and was penty for 4.  Even some pickings for tomorrow.
This is the way to go and i will be looking for another that has been marked down for quick sale.   This one was $17.
