My friend is a duck hunter, and keeps just giving me duck breast!

Yesterday, I made seared duck with a peach chutney glaze. Yes, medium rare.

Probably one of the better meals I've had in a bit.

It's interesting to think something so common here is unique elsewhere.

I've literally got a live trap outside because a racoon ate two of my chickens last week. Racoons are about as common as squirrels. When I was a kid, I befriended one with breadsticks. I could hand feed it, and then it would scamper away like a bandit with it's masked face!
