Dinner tonight

I bought a half a rotisseried duck in the freezer section:

The directions say for the grill, 10 minutes skin-side down over medium
coals then turn it over and grill 5-10 minutes until heated through. I have
some yellow squash and some zucchini which take about that time when brushed
with oil and seasoned with salt, pepper and perhaps some Penzey's Italian
seasoning or Adobo seasoning. I might make some barley pilaf to go with
this. At any rate I'll have yummy leftovers 🙂

There is not much meat on a duck, so don't count on much left overs.
Most likely, you bought half a duckling and you will have a wonderful
meal, but not much else. I hope I am wrong. I love duck. Before
serving it, I put it back into a hot oven and while the meat heats, I
[censored] the skin with a fork, so that any fat is released and the skin
gets very crispy and yummy. :o) Enjoy, you are going to have a special
meal tonight.

<cough><cough> Lump or charcoal (dodging frying pan😉 Seriously, I love
duck. I just don't see much in the way of left overs though.

Sounds delish. Can I come over and nibble some? I have yet to decide on
dinner yet. I've been on the go all day and I'm kinda sore. Steven is at
work as usual so either I can call friends and go out, eat delivery at home
or whip up something and take to Steven at work. What to do... Methinks
it'll be Chinese take out or maybe a pizza. If I do the pizza I've got
some fresh spinach and a bit of blue cheese, pears and pine nuts. Might
make a salad to go with.

The web site says it's already cooked and weighs 12 ounces (really
quite small for half a cooked duck). At least 2/3 will be inedible
bone and fat. So you are correct, it will contain just barely enough
meat to feed one.

When I lived on Lung Guyland I would order duck L'orange lunch/dinner
whenever it was a special, it was often the least expensive special,
Long Island Duckling is common on Lung Guyland. They'd serve half a
duck (stuffed), and glazed, very tasty but not a lot of meat... if not
for the stuffing, sides, and whatever else was included there'd be
little to eat. That Maple Leaf Farms half a cooked duck is probably
okay but is very, very expensive... on Lung Guyland I can get served a
full duck dinner for that price. Frozen duckling at the stupidmarket
is the same price per pound as turkey or roasting chicken... usually
about 79 cents/lb, but I didn't bother, was a lot less work and cost
less at a restaurant.
