Roast Christmas duck, done over charcoal and wood:






Alexandra made a pot of garlic mashed potatoes and steamed some veggies. The wine is some sort of blush she prefers, I had a Papst.

Wish I could tell you it was a fat corn fed mallard harvested yesterday in western Manitoba, but, it isnt. I got it from the local butcher, he gets a few dozen of them from a local farmer around the holidays. It isnt even a mallard, but, some sort of domestic duck raised to be good on the table.

Life is good.
