  1. Good morning Charles and David!
    I trust your weekend has been fun!

    We are enjoying a nice break in the weather here,
    a nice cool front has moved in making it ideal weather for being outside
    in the sun.

    I'm grilling a duck at the moment, with the skin removed to reduce the
    fat.

    What are you having for lunch?

    Cheers!

    Hello Om - the limey is luckier than I am today as he is still mid morning
    when in Oz it is nearly 8:PM - you must be starting Sunday over there -
    nice to have a kind of "indian summer" day to charge up your batteries.
    (grilled duck mmmmm nothing better - especially with a good sauce and wild
    mushrooms!) - have a great day!

    What are you doing up at this ungodly hour, or have you not yet been
    to bed?

    We were planning to have guests for lunch, but as I told our
    housekeeper, I would much prefer roast lamb today as guests can be so
    tough! ;o)

    Hmmmm... Thanks for the mushroom sauce suggestion.
    That's a good idea! :-)

    I had done a lemon marinade and was just going to serve it with a side
    of mushrooms and brocolli done with dill.

    Cheers!

    Does your housekeeper knock softly on your bedroom door in the morning to
    present you with a freshly ironed newspaper and a cup of tea?

    I work night shifts now, so this is pretty much my routine.
    It helps during the workweek to keep it up somewhat over weekends.

    It's excellent with a good garlic marinade!

    I'm spared that debatable delight as I am up and out long before dear

    time, but she is not possessed of the face and figure of one's dreams!

    However, her daughter is an altogether different kettle of fish, but

    Seems like her daughter may offer a debatable delight or two then? (at
    least Joyce doesn't seem the type to write a 'tell all' book one day about
    the goings on in the 'Ponsonby' household!)

    mourn loss'es, and are very loyal. How can you rescue cats, dogs, and

    I buy my duck from the grocery store where they are RAISED for food.
    I don't take wild ducks. :-P

    Geeze!

    Eating store bought duck where that's what they are raised for is no
    different than eating chicken or beef.

    I'm not a vegetarian, and I don't intend to become one!

    Besides, wild duck sucks.
    It's not worth the effort, nor the guilt.

    I buy my duck from the grocery store where they are RAISED for food.
    I don't take wild ducks. :-P

    Geeze!

    Eating store bought duck where that's what they are raised for is no
    different than eating chicken or beef.

    I'm not a vegetarian, and I don't intend to become one!

    Besides, wild duck sucks.
    It's not worth the effort, nor the guilt.

    Store bought means it's ok then? Do they have less feelings? There are
    some animals we do not need to eat, ducks are one of them.
