Yesterday was my friends birthday and she always wants duck for her special day 😁 And we always enjoy serving duck on a board . To go along with the duck we had blue cheese stuffed olives, black plums, a nice aged cheddar and cherries. I don’t know what it is about the olives but they really make the plum pop !!!! And of course a small desert 👍. PS the duck may look a little over but it was extremely moist and tender, it just melted in the mouth. She loved it ❤️ forget to mention the boxes of zChocolates. But no pictures of those so it never happened lol

Corn. From plant to KK to tummy. Yummy.

sure if you guys wanna fly out here..😂 today is danishes, in various forms and fruit toppings..

Porchetta is done and resting, just finishing a few duck breasts now then off to my sisters for a family dinner. More pics to come

Working backwards from the remains of the meal...here are the empty wine bottles that I discovered when I opened up the shutters on my BBQ cupboard this afternoon. The four of us LOVED this duck recipe. Even my husband who is not that keen on cooked citrus. The potatoes were cooked on the 23 in the drippings from the duck cook. The double bottom pan on the cool side of the 32 was a very good way to collect the juices and fat without burning them. And here is the cooked duck sitting pretty on the 32 after about 7.5 hours' cooking.

Ok new rule, every croissant night we have a forum meeting at David’s house lol

I just love a well-dressed hot dog. I really like a nice chili cheese dog once or twice a year, and today was the day. Enjoy fellow KK'ers. steve

Great looking meal! Always good to hide the wine empties; very professional! That way, you can sneak in another bottle(s) with none the wiser.

Nicely done tekobo. Those kumquats can be bitter…. More grapefruit than mandarin. Very marmaladey Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, I so wish I was invited to that birthday party.

I bet that’s gonna be good !!!!!

@Tekobo, that duck cook is sounding superb, can't wait to see the grand finish.

And we are off! I overshot the target temp by quite a bit. Went over 200C, but I loaded in the grates and cranked back the top hat and bottom vent and went down to 140C within half an hour. Now sitting happily at 130C. Bye bye little Ducky. See you in about six hours.

It's a misconception that you have to order enough for a small town to get a break on shipping. Try various quantities for yourself, estimate shipping, and make a compromise. Then allow a short grace period for others to join if they like. I've joined in shares, and enjoyed meeting people that way. I've also ordered for myself with no regrets. The pain of spending is forgotten quickly, but the joy of having lasts. I hoard charcoal, and it's nice to have enough to just use what's appropriate for each application, without even thinking.

I could not agree more. We were in NYC last week and made our pilgrimage to PDT. It's a speakeasy cocktail bar with a hatch through to Criff's Dogs next door. Cocktails and hotdogs. What could be better?
