Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Many places I have been rillettes are offered in a crock or small jar.

Only chicken tastes like chicken. Tornados sound like tornadoes, and locomotive sound like locomotives.

Not all chicken tastes like all other chicken. Sounds of tornadoes differ from event to event. Steam locomotives sound like steam locomotives, and diesel locomotives sound like diesel locomotives.

Every time we get rillette (or terrine or foie gras) it comes in a clear jar, usually like this:



Never ordered in a restaurant though, no bang for your buck.

We had grilled chicken tonight- coated in oil, fresh dill & chives, crushed garlic and fennel pollen. Then with a squeeze of lemon juice at the end. It tasted like summer.

Funny thing, I came back from vacation determined to eat healthier. Mostly I was thinking more veg. But the natural grocery store had walnuts on sale, so I went there to pick up walnuts and one thing led to another & I also picked up a bottle of walnut oil. Omega 3s.

Then I got home and read about walnut oil & how it's perishable and youve gotta use it up quick. Yikes. Stress. This led to googling walnut oil recipes. Which in turn led to making an orange walnut cake. Mmm dessert. Orange walnut cake topped with fresh whipped cream, blueberries & chopped crystallized ginger. Very healthy.

More googling led to making lemon-tarragon walnut oil mayo. Now we're very very healthy.

Sandwiches of sliced rotisserie chicken, lettuce & tomato on toasted sourdough with lemon-tarragon mayo. For dinner last night. Mmm.

Today for lunch made a dip by mixing buttermilk with the mayo & adding chives and dill. Big pile of crudités for lunch. Actually decently healthy. But also cheesy toasts, a total secret ingredient type recipe in which you lightly toast some bread (in this case sourdough) and schmear it with a mix of mayo & cheese (in this case lemon-tarragon mayo and an awesome aged parmesan-like goat cheese from the farmers market) then run it under the broiler. Very very very healthy. Not really but delicious.

Dressed some boiled Yukon gold potatoes with the buttermilk herb dressing, tasty potato salad to go with the grilled chicken.

So in the end, I wound up using 3/4 of the bottle of walnut oil and 3/4 of the mayo in 48 hours. You can see how healthy I've become.

Very sad that for some reason I can never find duck in any of the markets here in California. I can get rack of lamb on sale for $6/pound. But ducks are scarce on the ground here.

Now whenever I see duck on a restaurant menu, I've gotta have it.

Same here. The farmers market that sets up on the weekend carries lamb, which I also really like, but I don't think I've seen duck anywhere (haven't looked too hard, mind.)

When we lived in New England we could get duck anywhere, even at Costco.

I love classic duck a la orange.

Mmm and duck in port wine cherry sauce.

Duck is much tougher to cook innit? I would imagine that they're more difficult to raise than chicken, too, which is one of the reasons that pigeon is no longer on the menu to the extent that it once was.
