THURSDAY: Bob and Fred

As usual, the last question emailed to me by my lovely fiancee before I left work was "Whats for Dinner (honey)?" My reply quickly sent off before I picked up my bag and walked out the door..... Braised Duck Tagliatelle.

When darling fiancee got home a few hours after me and I set dinner in front of him, he sat there for a few minutes just starring. Then the comment "I can't eat duck, not when we have Bob and Fred sitting out on our front lawn." You see, we have a group of ducks who frequent our neighbourhood and enjoy sitting out on our front lawn (whenever our cats are inside) and we named a pair of them who often come to say hello, Bob and Fred.

However, after a few mouthfuls he declared it delicious, and obviously got over eating duck!

Meltingly tender duck braised in a rich red wine sauce, tossed through fresh pasta and sprinkled with fresh parsley and the 'grand cru' of all cheeses, Parmigiano Reggiano.

Eat Well, Drink Well, Live Well.
