*starts chopping for all sorts of salads*

*goes to fetch the duck he ordered from the blacksmith down at the pub*

Blacksmith's duck? You must have very good teeth.

No need. It was very tender. Best duck I've had in years!

We had this brief discussion on ducks with my dearest mother the other day. Neither of us knows how to prepare a good duck, so we decided to stick to pork.

Never let an either/or get in the way of a both/and - so we had both

Very clever idea. As long as there was .

nothing wrong with pork

Duck .. I had duck fillet a few days ago .. isn't it more or less the same as chicken? sauce would be nice .. apple or orange sauce

well .. I just muck around a bit of course

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, smells like a duck and tastes like a it is most likely a - duck

So, what's for the dinner today?

Veal chops I think

ah, good.. and broccoli is on discount.. white wine sauce??

There will be new potatoes and a mix of assorted veggies. I'm still contemplating the sauce. Nothing like a well-contemplated sauce, am I right?

the entire meal should be well thought over, considered, and in perfect balance. Correct

( I am Hippo and I approve this message )

I got home just half an hour before midnight, so, no dinner for me.

Hippos always surface, init?

*Hippo surfaces*

yes, they do .. of course they do then need coffee

* grabs two mugs, pours coffee, grabs the cookie jar *
* disappears *

The last of my veal steaks (so far) tonight. It appears to be Dutch, but I'll try it anyway.
