quack, quack, yum

[alexist]

I got a duck on sale a couple of months ago and it's been sitting in our freezer since. I decided to make it tonight. So we're having:
roast duck
gravy (home made natch, I don't touch Bisto)
apple sauce (also home made, but honestly, it's so easy to do)
roast potatoes (in the duck fat, hear my arteries clog)
Yorkshire pudding
carrots
red cabbage (for me)
peas (for Neil)

I think that's quite enough for a Sunday roast dinner. :)

How was the duck? I've been yearning to make a roasted duck breast, at least, but it's so expensive!

(and I'm all for coooking the potatoes in the fat-- I always bake mine covered with the chicken, sometimes on top of the skin, sometimes on the bottom of the pan.)

You're a much more knowledgeable cook than I am-- is roasting enough time for the potatoes to cook through, esp. if it's uncovered? When I do chicken w/potatoes I cook covered until the potatoes are done, then uncover to crisp up the skin.
