A hunter friend recently graced us with a few ducks, which I promptly marinated in cayenne, black pepper, red wine (a cab), tamari and lemon juice. I then offered this sacrifice up to the BIg Green Egg with a liberal helping of mesquite. A few hours later, the smoker surrendered two of the best ducks I’ve ever eaten. These guys were much better than the farm-raised ducks I occasionally buy at the local store, and they came with the added bonus of an occasional shotgun pellet.

Joannie spotted this piece in the Onion, one of my favorite online sites. Jonathan Swift would be proud of these guys. Still some of the best humor/satire on the Internet.

Our annual tree party was a great success last week. My parents showed up, a wonderful surprise. And we had folks from all over the map in attendance. I’ll post a few photos later, but I didn’t have time to take pictures during the party. If you have any, I’d love to get copies to post here. Just send me an e-mail.

And there was a moral to this party: Don’t mix Red Bull and tequila. Or you’ll end up like poor Glenbot.
