Holy Shit it's only Thursday.

I have a cop out recipe today.

I wanted to inform you of impending doom.

Mamma DPO very kindly gave me a duck and after 2 weeks of reading how people do various things to ducks, (be glad I looked so you don't have to... two words: force and feeding EW.) I think I'm ready. I just have to decide for the first duck if I want to go with a soy based marinade, herb paste or just a plain roasted duck... Soy based stuff is my comfort zone however I will most likely start simple. What I do know is pinot noir seems to be the recommended wine to be consumed with duck.
I'll let you know how it goes.

One of my general rules is: Try not to bemoan thy fate when time seems to slow down. Why? Because really, our time IS a limited quantity. Keeping this in mind, today is Thursday and this has been a very long week. I think because I've spent a lot of it at the workplace and not much of it sleeping. I'm looking forward to not driving anywhere this weekend. I have a duck to cook, laundry to do and a rock to carve. Ok, so the rock's been sitting there for about a year but now I have a new tool to use and well... you know about how much I love tools*.
Papa DPO and I went to a killer woodworking supply shop last weekend. They have pretty much everything and I wanted it all. Meh. I thought I would do a little carving again. It's been a while. I mayyyyy go back there and get a large piece of basswood, but we'll see. I want to make a design first so a block of wood doesn't take up my desk space for 2 years.
So many crafts to try, so little skillz.

Indication of how the week is going- by Tuesday I needed one of these:

The Tropical Mega-Screw

Ingredients
4 to 6 oz coconut rum (keep in mind 8oz equals 1 cup)
orange juice to taste
crushed ice

Mix it
Drink it
Repeat

May your weeks be long and your drinks be plentiful :)
