$190 for a freakn water bottle is insane

mmmmm I love ducks Ive only ever cooked a whole duck once, I poached it first then let it dry out in a cool room for 24 hours before roasting it indo style. It was delish and even better the next day in a noodle stir fry.

far out I thought the astrology site I was on was bitchy...

 

[brettprevans]

far out I thought the astrology site I was on was bitchy...

maybe there are too many scorpios and virgos on ur astrology thread or too many gemminis causing bad moods

or maybe there's a problem with saturn's ring. maybe some itching or burning (bad bum joke)

 

[bum]

My jokes are way better than that.

 

[brettprevans]

yes. yes they are

maybe your googlefoo is better than mine also. the 1st line was all i could find ina quick search about astrology and bad moods. i couldnt fin anything about moons and planets doing weird things. hence the bad joke.

and none of it made any sence to me...

I...it was a pun of sorts. "bad bum joke" Geddit?

I see where you were going and you probably couldn't have done much more with it.

 

[brettprevans]

yeah i got you mate. i was using a double meaning also. we know where the bum joke status is at. hopefully we arent labelled homophobic for discussing bums

KT - I just googled astrology and bad moods. apprently scorpios and virgos are bitchy and virgos like to cause trouble hence bad moods. it was the best I could do in about 2 min worth of searching.

the weird planets aligning thus causing mood thing I couldnt find anything about, so i made a bum jioke about saturns ring (read bum hole).

 

[Airgead]

OK... I'll let you into the duck roaster's club and teach you the secret handshake...

Prick the duck all over. I mean ALL over lots and lots of times with a sharp fork. Dozens and dozens of times.. really go to town on it. Imagine its your ex's face...

Place pricked duck on a rack over a roasting pan. Don't put it in the pan or it will drown in its own fat and go greasy. You want it an inch or so above the bottom of the pan.

Rub the skin with something plus salt. I like using orange zest, crushed star anise and salt. The salt helps draw the moisture out of the skin and crisp up.

Into a slow oven, around 150 for an hour and a half or so. You may need to pour off the fat a couple of times during cooking if its a particularly fatty duck. The long slow cooking helps drain the fat. You can also re-prick half way through the cooking to assist. You can also do a really long slow cook (2-3 hours at 120 or so).

Crank up the temp as hot as the oven will go and cook for another 30 mins. This will crisp up the skin.

Leave to rest for a few mins before carving.

Cheers
Dave

Cancerians are the moodiest of the zodiac but I like to keep call the emotions. Gemini's can be bitching my rising in gemini which is my social side. Virgos get the f*ck away from me... LOL!

Thanks Airgeard

so prick a prick hey...

as I said before I can cook a duck but I will try that method much quickler. though i do like drying out the meat, only a couple of weeks ago I did that with a pork belly before that I pricked it all over and the poured hot water over the fat part of the skin, dried it out in fridge over night the meat part was marinated. It also went into the oven at different temps. It was amazing.

Hmmmmm, OK, this forum seems to be less about brewing, and more about BS, so I'll use the acceptable rule accordingly in this instance.

Look ! Bum is commenting on something other than brewing ! How surprising.

Is That Billy Ray's daughter ? She's kinda hot with a bong in her little chubby hands. Can she line dace though?

Is that "Avenged Sevenfod" playin in the background? Not very pop.

Is that POT that she's smoking ? The come-on seems a bit quick. I reckon it's a badly pyrolised and poorly taken salvinorin trip that got that girl buzzing gently.

There's very little exhaled smoke after she pulls. Maybe it's crystal meth.

Or it could just be a complete ******* joke, and a set up of viral marketing proportions. Top of the pops good girl appears in a crude cam vid smoking a bubbler. I might just go buy the record because of this hillbilly expose.

I know it was the early hours of the morning so some slack will be cut. Did you read the thread title? It's called the No Topic Thread and it's in Off Topic. It's not about brewing. There's a million other sub-forums about beer and brewing. I accept that most of us are here for the brewing information, however there is plenty of other rubbish to talk about and this is the appropriate section of this forum to do so.

Maybe you could take a hit yourself and chill out a little bit.

 

[Fents]

you had me at salvinorin

Oh well 10:30 and 40l of Belgian blonde are in the fermentor. Hit gravity and volume. So my brewing knack is back.
