The Perfect Duck

Years ago I learned how to make a "perfect" whole duck by using Barbara Kafka's recipe in "Food for Friends." The duck was poached in duck fat, then roasted. I roasted it directly on the rack in my small convection oven. Oh, the poaching liquid was duck stock -- made from the bones of previous roasted ducks. And for years this stock was carefully transferred from freezer to freezer.

I learned that to get good meringue cookies, just beat the hell out of the egg whites.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 82: Peanut Butter Portion Control

No one seems to have mentioned my favorite summer peanut butter treat: A sliced REAL tomato on a slice of bread or inside a pita with peanut butter spread on the other side. This gives the tomato as well as the peanut an entirely different taste. When a friend first told me about this, I was not enthused, but then I tried it. It's usually my first summer fresh from the garden tomato sandwich.

Anything for lunch near Port Authority?

What about the falafel at Pick-a-Pita now on 8th Ave walking towards 38th? I can't remember the exact address of the new location, but it's less than a block from 40th St.

Pick a Pita has the absolute best falafel! I've tried others, but theirs is the best!

Southern Food - What's your favorite?

Reading all of this in Pennsylvania is making me very hungry -- happily, we are heading to NC at the end of this week. It is going to be so wonderful to have grits that I do not have to cook!

Are you a measurer or a thrower?

I always "throw" when baking with yeast, but when doing cakes I'm very careful because cake baking terrifies me. Breads are very forgiving.
