Summerducks with some squash and figs

[Foie Gras]

Nice cutting board. Seriously.
I like fruit sauces with my duck. How'd you make that'un?

[Highstrung]

No pinkies.

Carolina, the knife is a laguiole, new set, not any of their real expensive ones. I had two nicer sets, one was flat ruined.. Long story, but I've only got a few left of them.

FG, thanks I picked up a few from a guy who makes them around here, nice guy. I've got to talk to him again about building a couple handled ones the wife wants.






I didn't go really in depth with the "sauce". I pulled a jar of fig preserves, added some maple syrup, a little salt, a little squeeze of lemon, and simmered it for a few. It was all kind of last minute. I wish I had my herb garden going, still trying to settle things around here... I was thinking a little fresh rosemary and maybe a touch of thyme. The ducks were just olive oil, salt, and pepper, and some mashed garlic in a bag for probably an hour. I got the grill hotter than Haiti s.

Nice boards, looks like Paduak and the other is Walnut.

[Highstrung]

It is Walnut. I think a bunch of people like the checked look, I'm good with solid.

Sunday high pinky dinner.

[Highstrung]

Nice

I like them fried every so often. I whole pick most of my ducks, but I've got a mess leftover from basically a youth day at our place. I was a good enough steward bringing eight of them over and teaching them how breast them... I'll eat a whole picked dove leg as well.


Pork at our house tonight

[Spur hunter]

Very nice.

Only pig here was me this evening. Leftovers from lunch and I ate two breast fillets and 4 leg/thighs. Topped it all off with a slice of lemon meringue pie.
