I know you are a lawyer and I will definitely give you credit. I am already writingh the phrase in my mind..... Did you make the other two duck dishes? The duck recipe with peaches is fabulous. I didn't have a problem with the sauce. In fact, I reduced it too much and had to add a 1/4 cup of wine at the end. I think my figs were "heavy", so to speak, and made everything less runny. Yeah, it was a splurge, cost and calorie-wise but I liked it as well as you seemed to.

(something about Long Island ducks being world famous) However, since moving to PA, I wouldn't dream of buying duck not only because it would be hard to come by and really expensive, but like you say, the grease can be quite over whelming. It is good every now and again though and yours looks just perfect! Now I'm wanting some duck:)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Gaye...~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904224777464805669.post-33974548682345185532014-11-14T11:23:54.378+11:002014-11-14T11:23:54.378+11:00The sauce could have been a little thicker for sur...The sauce could have been a little thicker for sure.
