Duck stock is finishing up.

Wheat-onion-sesame dinner rolls are rising.

Dressing ingredients are ready to be tossed together and baked.

Duck is ready to be seasoned and roasted.

Still to do:

Bake rolls
Roast duck and garlic for potatoes
Make and bake dressing (bread cubes, sausage, onions, celery, duck stock)
Peel/boil/mash potatoes
Heat corn
Cook zucchini
Make gravy

This is fun. :-)

Whoa, you're way ahead of me. I haven't even taken my duck out of the brine yet!

I have, however, baked pie. (-:

Better get crackin', I think.

I keep thinking maybe I should brine my poultry, but seeing as how I don't even like poultry, it feels like a step beyond what I'm willing to take the effort to do. :-)

MMmmmm, pie! I dislike cake, but I LOVE pie, so I usually get birthday pie. This year, I got FOUR of them, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] loracs, who, like my mother, doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "enough food". :-)

Yep, pie over cake any day. The only cakes I like are those dense, egg-and-buttery ones without any flour to speak of.

I didn't get enough pecan pie at Thanksgiving because I had to share. So now I have one all to myself. Which is probably way too much, but you know? I don't care!

Also: Brining is a good way to thaw a frozen bird that you didn't remember to take out of the freezer soon enough. (-:
