in which no ducks are harmed

[ekaterinn]

It's very like my family to be all in other parts of the house, reading/writing/messing about with Itunes. Family togetherness only get you so much. *g* I'm additionally on duck-cooking duty. Jeez, you cook one turkey without giving food-poisoning to anyone, and suddenly you're the expert meat-cooker in the family. In revenge, I'm going make them all watch A Colbert Christmas Special after dinner...I, um, might not be very good at vengeance.

That sounds like a very nice tradition, and a nice goal (to not make anyone sick!).

Mine turned out fine. I followed Mark Bittman's recipe for roast duck; nothing special.

I'm glad yours turned out fine! Mine could've been a bit more juicy, but other than that, it was fine. I'm doomed to be the meat-cooker in my family now though. *g*

But there's an upside: my sister and I were arguing about who would have to bear the grandchildren and I pointed out if she would bear the grandkids, I could cook them!

...adoption? Then nobody has to cook anyone. I mean, unless you just want to, but I recommend keeping a spare around just in case.

Mmm, that might be a thought. But how would I get on Dr. Phil then?

(Hey, if you adopt, I'll totally babysit! Am trustworthy because am a teacher. *nodnod* Will not cook friend's children. Very annoying students are another story.)

Oh gods no. No children for me. You just can't *talk* to kids for such an inconveniently long period of time.

[eveningblue.livejournal.com]

Ha! And also ick! Maybe you could just cook for them.

Oh, all right, if I must. *sulks* Don't think grandkids are happening anytime soon, in either case, though.
