Productive? Depends on your definition...

Well, had dad over for dinner. This occurs every few weeks - there is food, discussion of politics, books, cooking, and the end of the world as we know it. Oh yes, and watch whatever - previously it was Weeds and currently it's Californication.

Tonight was no different. However, I tried cooking duck for the first time. Good lord was it tasty. And duck fat? It truly is the stuff of legend. Yes, I am praising an animal fat here. But the potatoes, which I just tossed into the roasting pan, got saturated with the stuff. With rosemary? The result was rich, smooth, and subtle.


What? I like food...


That said - I didn't get my list completely done this weekend. However, I did get cleaning done, and also ordered a bunch of wool and linen for projects. (Including a lovely dark brown wool for a coat... I even ordered extra.) I shall be kept happily occupied in the lead-up to Estrella. And domnall and I shall be nice and warm there.
