why is it "disgusting"? Im endlessly amazed at how cultural conditioning tells us what is gross and what is not. I haven't had brains but now Im curious.

I have to add another comment. One of the most memorable moments I had running weddings is when the Chocolate Mousse Wedding Cake met the Ninety Five Degree Day. As the B&G were preparing to enter the tent, I turned to survey the tent and noticed the cake was no longer on the table. Then I noticed three servers scrambling to pick up the remains of the cake that decided to go plop. Good times.

For a place near Fenway try the recenty opened Citizen Public House for Beer, Oysters, Burgers etc and other casual food in a dimly lit setting.

Elsewhere I'd suggest Ole in Cambridge for outstanding Mexican (though you might not want to have to arrange to travel across the river).

Gross. Serious Eats? I don't think so.

bareneed, your mother is a lovely woman.

finsbigfan, that recipe you linked to is looking pretty nice.

I have had success using my rotisserie attachment on my grill. I steam the ducks for 30 minutes first, then I place them on the rotisserie, with a pan underneath to catch the fat. after 45 minutes I start to apply a black cherry glaze I make this way:

combine in a saucepan: 1 quart cherry juice, 1 cinnamon stick, teaspoon fresh ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt. cook down until misture is reduced to 1/2 cup (be careful not to overcook and burn).

Apply glaze to duck several times until duck is done and is a beautiful deep color.

"Plus since the Obama's aren't out in the garden, they had to hire additional staff at a major cost to the taxpayers"

What kind of claptrap is this? Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds. Yes it must really burn you up that the Obamas aren't in the garden picking vegetables for you.

I knew as a child, around 8 years old that I wanted to spend more time with food. The first job I dreamed of having was to work in a restaurant. It looked so fun! No astronaut fantasies for me.

My parents all encouraged me to play in the kitchen, even though at first all I accomplished was making a mess. But I improved and would make up menus which I would present to my brothers so they could choose what kind of snack I might have the pleasure of preparing for them.

I also refused to eat any school cafeteria food. I made me sad and I hated it. I went hungry every day and then ran home to prepare some kind of invention for myself to eat.
