August 17, 2007: Abandoned ducks live in tea cup

Undertoad · 08-17-2007, 12:43 PM

Axlrosen finds another, this time from the Mail. Thse two ducks were washed out to the open sea, paddling away and sure to drown, when they were rescued by a passing canoeist.

So tiny, they are happy with the little section of water they are now given... especially when compared to the ocean they were pulled from.

Duck soup!

Cloud beat me to the punchline.
If we added some coffee it'd be DucksNuts!
Wait coffee has beans in it, not nuts, damn.

Chock full of ducks is the heavenly coffee.....

Griff · 08-17-2007, 01:48 PM

Roast Duckling Recipe with Champagne and Orange Juice

* 1 frozen duckling, thawed
* 2 oranges, peeled
* salt and pepper
* 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
* 3 tablespoons champagne
* 3 egg yolks
* 2 cups heavy cream
* salt and pepper
* orange segments for garnish

Wash duck and pat dry inside and out. Stuff with peeled oranges. Prick skin all over with fork. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place on rack in roasting pan. Roast in a preheated 350° oven for 30 to 35 minutes per pound.

Remove and cut into 4 sections; discard orange pulp. Arrange on a hot serving platter and keep warm while preparing sauce.

Place cream and egg yolks in a shallow pan; heat gently. Add orange juice and champagne a little at a time. Add a little salt to taste. Allow sauce to come to a simmer; continue to heat for 15 seconds. Do not boil. Pour sauce over duck and garnish with fresh orange sections.
Serves 2.

You can grow the oranges in the time it will take these quackers to be ready for that recipe.

Take two ducks and call me in the morning...

Tea? Yes, please. One duck or two?

Cloud · 08-17-2007, 05:30 PM

I'd rather just take the champagne and orange juice. Mimosas, anyone?
