Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Duck a la orange can't be made with lime. (G) seriously, I'm sure
this
-> -> is nowhere near proper duck a la orange--have to find a recipe for
it.
-> -> Steve is thinking of tea smoking it; we'll have to decide which way
we
-> -> want to go but I think my idea sounds rather flavorful.
-> 
->  HN> Not sure you can get duck A l'orange with soy
->  HN> as an ingredient anyway...I've never tried to
->  HN> make it, Amanda and I like duck...but someone
->  HN> else does not...so we never have made it at
->  HN> home. Amanda has made it since she left home
->  HN> but I have not (sigh).
-> 
-> We tried to do a duck a la Alton Brown (I think it was with braised
-> kale) while we were in HI. It was OK, not great, not bad--just never got
-> into it again. The duck we just got was raised not to far from here,
-> more free range, less fat. I'm thinking we should add some ginger to the
-> soy-honey-orange mix also.
-> 
I will often order duck when I see
it on a menu, but it does not appear 
there often. There is a vietnamese place
that has duck cooked "their way", I like it
Anne does not participate.

-> ->  HN> That's the advantage of being a dependent
-> ->  HN> rather than the active duty...they can
-> ->  HN> serve that to US! And 77 days at sea
-> 
-> -> My mom had them in college--but she started in 1946. Guess they had
to
-> -> use up all those that weren't used during the war.
-> 
->  HN> Yeah...we tried to send them to
->  HN> Japan and Germany..but the Nuremberg
->  HN> Tribunal said it would have qualified
->  HN> as a war crime....
-> 
-> Kinda hard to hang powdered eggs tho, so they just stuck around. I guess
-> they're used in commercial mixes and breadstuffs now.
->
That would be the best
use I could think of.
 
-> ->  HN> does not promote lots of fresh eggs..or
-> ->  HN> much of fresh anything by the end of the
-> ->  HN> run!
-> 
-> -> Kinda hard to keep much of anything fresh that length of time. Even
-> -> green bags wouldn't hold produce fresh that long.
-> 
->  HN> we had bags...but when they turned green
->  HN> the went into the TDU.
-> 
-> No surprise. Have you tried the green bags "as seen on tv" for produce?
-> My MIL gave me a couple; they actually do help keep stuff fresh longer.
-> Tried finding some in some of the stores, finally found some (under
-> another name at a Dollar General last week.
->
Nope, have not, but truthfully we
usually eat fresh veggies long 
before they'd have a chance to 
go bad on us.
 
-> ->  HN> Yah...gotta work on those landings!!
-> 
-> -> I'm not trying any take offs these days, can't land with no take off.
-> -> Believe me, I'm being a lot more cautious now--making sure the step
-> -> stool is firmly planted on the floor, using the step stool instead of 
a
-> -> chair, etc.
-> 
->  HN> That's the way to do it these days!!
-> 
-> More work but safer in the long run. Stepstool we had issued us in
-> Berlin tho, wasn't the safest of things anyway.
->
There are some really creative ones
on the market now. 
 
-> ->  HN> Today is a bit of a blip day..so we're
-> ->  HN> staying home and relaxing. I'm catching
-> ->  HN> up on some emails and Annie is watching
-> ->  HN> Muppet Christmas Carol on DVD.
-> 
-> -> Sounds good to me. Muppet movies are good for taking your mind off of
-> -> blips. There's a new one in the theater but I'd suggest you wait
until
-> -> it comes out on DVD/Blue Ray. Hard to cook and concentrate on a
Muppet
-> -> movie at the same time tho, or you'll end up cooking like the (mock)
-> -> Swedish Chef.
-> 
->  HN> I already tend to look a bit like him
->  HN> anyway!
-> 
-> OK, just don't sound like him.
->
Bjork!
 
-> ->  HN> She may not even realize that you have it!
-> 
-> -> I showed her and asked if I could take it (and a couple of others). 
She
-> -> OKed it but has probably forgotten I have it. It's a good one.
-> 
->  HN> Does she use it anymore? Probably not.
-> 
-> I doubt she ever used it. How/why she got it is is hard to figure out.
-> But, I'm enjoying it, guess that's what counts.
->
Indeed! 
 
chat with you soon!
