slow duck

[mark.t]

Just collected my mum and dad from a week at Blackpool..(told them if they didn't behave they'd have 2 next time)...well driving along the M55 minding my own, right in front of me walking right across the motorway is mother duck followed by 7 or 8 little baby ducklings and everyone trying to swerve around them

 

[pammy]

aaw bless - hope they got across OK!! M55's not usually too bad so they should be OK.

Now where is that unmarked Silver Range Rover the blue boys have on the M55 when you need it!

Duck with orange sauce.

1 duck of 1.5 Kg (7 or 8 ducklings optional)
8 smoked bacon rashers
1 carrot cut into rounds
1 onion cut into rounds
bouquet garni: parsley, thyme, laurel
150 ml dry white wine
300 ml chicken stock (or cubes)
salt and pepper
For the sauce
2 sugar cubes
2 tbsp vinegar
juice of one orange
1/2 lemon squeezed
1 orange rind

Duck Place the duck in an oven proof pan lined with the bacon rashers, carrots and onions. Add the bouquet garni and season with salt and pepper and cook for 15 minutes, turning ocasionally to brown the duck on all sides.
Add the dry white wine, let it evaporate, then add the chicken stock. Bring to the boil and cover tightly with aluminium foil; place in a pre-heated oven at 180° C - 350° F - G4 and cook for 1 hour.
Sauce Put the two sugar cubes in a saucepan, pour the two tablespoons of vinegar on top and caramelize on medium heat. Add the juice (with the bacon, carrot and onion) from the pan in which the duck was cooking and the orange juice and boil. Blend and strain the sauce. Boil the orange rind cut into very fine strips for 5 minutes and add to the sauce.
Presentation Remove the duck from the oven, place it on a serving dish or board and pour the sauce on top.
Duck with orange sauce is excellent served with steamed potatoes

Back to ducks. I believe that ducks have right of way on a road. Can anyone confirm?

 

[mark.t]

ducks

yes they should have right of way,because we are a nation of animal lovers, but at 90mph they have a reduced right, same as flying over a field in duck hunting season
