Just found out his mother in law died. So, I won't be asking him to do any baking, lol.

Well tell him condolences from a fellow malaka.

Asparagus have the right level of crunch? They look ok. One thing I hate is soft asparagus and so many people cook it that way.

Definitely a nice crunch ... al dente.

LOL I love these monthly reminders. It’s nice to be able to count on something during these topsy turvy times

Set of all-clads if it's within your budget. Gold standard for stainless steel. A cheaper and good option is tramontina. Not quite as great of a performer but still really good value.

Thanks. The bay had them on sale today so i was able to get them at 50%.

Making my first duck for christmas this year. Want to collect my duck fat! Any tips? Will be scoring the skin and rendering the fat.

Watch some videos on carving...they are not anatomically identical to chickens. I can break down a chicken with my eyes closed but struggled like a motherfucker with my first few ducks.

For collecting fat I just did similar, scored the skin and put the duck on a wire rack in my baking tray. Just poured off the significant amount of rendered fat into a mason jar when I was done.

yeah...wire rack it...

found a new use for duck fat..besides the classic potatoes, and my own brussell sprouts, I recently used it for fried rice -- stole that from David Chang. Decadent stuff.

I've done that with homemade schmaltz but never duck fat. When I have some sort of rendered animal fat around (I tend to have one of chicken, beef, or duck onhand) I try to sub it in for cooking oil whenever it seems interesting.

I had a beautiful cider a couple days ago. Collective Arts sure knows how to bust out banging ciders!

Are they calling it the McDiarrhea?

Honestly I'm not above anything even if it's objectively garbage. But there are times when you really have to draw the line somewhere. This is one of those times.
