Yes, this is my duck. My apologies for not taking the platter pic at school with the turnips and everything...but I forgot my camera at home today. So I cut all the meat off the roasted duck and brought it home and pieced it (kinda) back together. So imagine the carcass is holding all those bits n pieces together...isn't she a beauty? I cooked it perfectly, I glacered (that's glass-ehd) it perfectly, it was shiny, the sauce was good (though perhaps too peppery...), the turnips were cooked properly and tourned well. Everything was great today! It was a great great day.It started well with the trussing of the duck and ended with a demo for the Buche de Noel that we're making tomorrow in pastry. Yes, a Christmas Log in in February...but it's a French traditional "cake" so we have to learn to make it even if happens to be nowhere near Christmas. We get to make little meringue mushrooms and festive marzipan holly leaves to decorate. Will be sure to remember the camera tomorrow because I'm not bringing that bad boy home. It's filled with buttercream and covered in buttercream...I hate buttercream. Too buttery. I wish it were filled with raspberry jam and covered in Chantilly cream (whipped cream with sugar). Then I would eat the whole thing. mmmmmmmlog.
