duck! 25 December 2010
Season’s Greetings to all who are involved in such stuff. I have little enough to report in my address on this day…except that the devil is in the detail of any celebration and I don’t seem to be triumphing at that just now. For example, without the demon drink being responsible (at all at all, funnily enough, though I hit a bottle shortly after this event last night) I prepared a lovely duck yesterday and went to check on it an hour in to discover it still sitting on top of the cooker ready to go into the oven (which was working it’s little metal socks off at that stage). SO, the major note to all cooks today is to put any foodstuffs that you intend to cook INTO the oven at the allotted time…it may seem obvious, but hey, worth noting…
