only if you get out of school and go to GM!!!! :lol:

join the damn site and become a partner.

it's actually a lot of fun. I'm still not too keen on taking the lives of poor quackers, but we eat them and they don't get wasted (in a manner of speaking).


I rather look forward to it every weekend!

The only reason I would even think about joining now is to see what is going on in the "members" forum. I think its some sort of secret society like the Masons.

they have expectations. Actually, my mum is great. She pretty much lets me be what I want. My dad is fairly pushy and has high expectations that are likely unreasonable. He figures he's paying so he wants to see results and all that jazz. It's tough. and a pain and stressful, and that's not even dealing with school - that's just worrying about my dad.


:roll:

You're not missing much....

Poor fella. :cry:


You do realize that won't end when you graduate?

Since he paid for your school and helped you become successful you'll be his indentured servant until the day he dies.

Cut the cord Brent!!! Cut the damn cord!!!!!!


Its about respect Brent.

Your Dad doesn't respect you for the individual, the person, and the man you are (or should be). To him you are still just his son Brent.
JUST his son.

Stand your ground Brent. For your sake stand YOUR ground!!!

I haven't had much duck. But I can't say I really cared for it.

anyway. Nice name for the thread. it confused me for at least 3 seconds until i realised what it was.

:lol:

Confit de canard: take four duck legs, liberally rub in a mixture of salt, pepper, ground-up thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Cover and place in fridge over night. Take out, rinse under cold water, pat dry and cook at very low temperature (190F) in duck fat for about 8 hours. Shred and make either rillettes or add to a green salad.

Magret de canard: Take two duck breasts, cut a criss-cross pattern on the fat side (don't cut into the meat), salt and pepper. Slap down onto a hot cast-iron pan and fry at medium high until most of the fat has been rendered. You'll have to pour off the fat from the pan occasionally. Turn onto the meat side and fry another 2 minutes. Transfer to an oven-safe plate and heat at about 200F for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit. Meanwhile, drain off fat from pan, add sugar to the pan. Caramelize the sugar (but don't burn it, you f---ing pagan), and add 1/2 cup of orange juice and a chopped jalapeno pepper. Add some cheap-ass white wine, and reduce the sauce. Slice the duck breast into 1/4-inch thick slices. The meat should be pink. Drizzle the sauce over it. Served with green beans sautéed in olive oil with salt and pepper.

Oh, and foie gras. Don't even get me started with foie gras.

You're welcome.

I wasn't talking about this thread; I was talking about every other thread on this board that becomes a quoting competition.
f---ing pagan: kitchen talk.
Foie gras: Is so not liver. Yet it is. It's a big f--- YOU! to Peta, where you force-feed a duck (or goose) in order to induce lepidosis, an enlarged liver that is pretty much 100% fat. Slightly grilled, it's amazing. You can also use it to stuff raviolis, or to smear on top on some other meat, which you then cook "sous vide," i.e. in a vacuum-sealed bag. By itself, smeared on toast with a bit of fleur de sel, there's nothing like it.

"God bless those pagans." -Homer Simpson.
Foie gras does not taste like liver. It tastes like ambrosia.
Not a chef, just a foodie.
Making foie gras may be cruel, but it's no worse, IMO, than veal, or pork, or chicken, or beef. Each is nasty in its own way.
There's a quote somewhere, can't remember where, where the author suggests you order foie gras on your first date. It tells the girl that you have taste, but also that you have a certain rebellious streak to you.

*sigh*...foi gras...yet another delicacy I have to eliminate from my diet.

yup, they're pretty tasty!!! Although i had to look up victuals. You getting verbose on us, Dave???

nah, I just think victuals is a funny word. I've even been known to reckon on occasion! :) :o 8^)

Love the new thread name! :lol: :lol: :robert:

reckon, eh? maybe it's an american thing. As long as you don't break out the "i tell you whaaah"

:lol:

and the thread name is good....and it IS yours!!

i actually began my reckoning after an extended stay in austraya. 8^)

The new thread name doesn't mention the dearth of climbing though... :? :P
