(I'm frankly working on getting over to Kate Hill's in Gascony France, next, but would love to see Neal & family again anytime). He's also an awesome if humble cook himself, and made the whole thing look easy, tho you could tell he was working like a dog behind the scenes. A truly wonderful time, I learned a ton, and ate some of the best food I've ever had in or out of France. Seriously. Now to get to the 700+ photos I took that weekend.. or they'll never get seen;).

Thank you for guiding us gently into the good night of duck harvest and processing. I never could have imagined myself raising and processing ducks and had some serious doubts after the fourth engulfing of wet feather/blood/Dawn dish soap/steam aroma. That was quickly forgotten after tasting the fabulous feast of magret that night! This has been an life-changing experience for me. I hope that Brett and I can edify your efforts in our future ducky endeavors. Nice synopsis of the event! Thank you for guiding us gently into the good night of duck harvest and processing.
