After I unwrap it I wash it with cold water, trim out the excess fat salt and pepper it inside and out and put it in the fridge to dry for a day. I stab the breast skin shallowly in many places to allow the fat to render and for the skin to get crispy. I chop an onion, some celery, an orange and a few mushrooms to loosely stuff inside. Roast it at 360about until the internal temp is about 155 to 160F. Don't dry it out.

It comes with a pretty good orange sauce so I use that. Asparagus or brussels sprouts  go well with this, probably will go with rice but baked potato is good. I think a Pinot Griego wine will be a good accompaniment. It will probably be February before I fix one because Nancy has to have a cancerous lesion removed from the base of her tongue this Thursday. If you must do this Baltimore is probably the best place in the world for it.

Anyway it is super easy to get here. Just take exit 80 off interstate 95 and PM me for more details. One duck feeds four and I can seat ten at table.

First come first served, limit is eight. I have to know one week in advance. I will announce two weeks ahead.

Nancy's surgery is Thursday and Thanks for the good wishes.

One night we were just sitting down to supper when a couple of sales people came to the door. I told them that I had just put supper on the table and that i didn't have time to talk but if they hadn't eaten to come in and join us. They did and we had some good conversation and I to this day have no idea what they were selling.  

Ross,I am thinking of you and Nancy. I pray that things went ok today.

Ross, thank you for letting us know how everthing is with Nancy, many of are were thinking about her.

 We are glad she has you to take care of her.

 I hope the New Year brings you both good health as  well as continued happiness.
