Can spring be far behind?<br /><br />I am thankful that one of my daughters has moved back 'home' to El Paso - in her own home not ours. Wish I could get the other daughter closer. But we are in the same state. Texas is just a BIG state.onceuponatimehappilyeverafter.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496967140182523960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-691565095108551472021-02-03T15:53:08.456-05:002021-02-03T15:53:08.456-05:00We have the same exact answer for #2.

I looked back in December and saw that we would gain a minute of daylight per day (basically) and told my sister-in-law that I was looking forward to the end of January and more light. I've never eaten duck (husband has) and I've never cooked it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181034688965864601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-4490077262131687872021-02-03T15:50:20.393-05:002021-02-03T15:50:20.393-05:00We like duck but don't have it often.

My favourite though is duck pancakes from the Chinese takeaway - with spring onions, cucumber and plum sauce. Many recipes suggest an orange flavoured sauce but that's not for me. Hope you enjoy it however you cook it!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103884780854638066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-80068129857049110192021-02-03T15:21:00.182-05:002021-02-03T15:21:00.182-05:00I have only eaten duck once, in a restaurant, and ...I have only eaten duck once, in a restaurant, and I don't even remember how it was prepared.

Jeremy's mom was known for her Orange Roasted Duck.<br />Sadly, we do not have the recipe, many times Jeremy wishes we did and a few other recipes that did not get passed down.<br /><br />I liked how you answered #3.<br />Carla from The Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107829617899979937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-39882943725064203142021-02-03T10:03:46.987-05:002021-02-03T10:03:46.987-05:00Yes, Jesus loves you!

I agree, I would love a week at the beach right now. I have not cooked duck buy Mark's grandmother did. <br />I have a Czech cookbook that says: Cleans, wash and dry the duck. Rub inside and outside with salt, pepper and caraway seed. Bird is usually left unstuffed. But on the inside you put a small branch of marjoram. Put on a rack, breast up in a roasting pan. Roast at 325 degrees for 45 minutes per lb. Pour off fat during roasting. Test if done by moving drumstick. Skin should be brown and crispy. A 4 to 5 lb duck serves 4 people.

I also know that Jesus loves me even when I don't love myself so much. The extra daylight is a beautiful sign of spring. I love the extended hours of sunlight in the late afternoons pushing well into the evening hours by mid-summer which is my favorite part of a summer day. No advice to give on how to cook duck but that would be nice to know. I'll be eager to read what you learn. :) Thanks for hosting the mid-week fun, my dear!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-60327013597364477192021-02-03T08:04:29.434-05:002021-02-03T08:04:29.434-05:00I caught myself doing a double take at the clock t...I caught myself doing a double take at the clock this past week.
