MICHAEL LOO Said to DAVE DRUM about Whistling Dixie 254

ML>  ML> One roast duckling? It should have lost in short order, unless
ML>  ML> it was grossly overroasted. Or I suppose underroasted.
ML>  DD> I was 14 years old, it was on a train that was rocking and
ML>  DD> rolling  pretty much, the cutlery was pretty dull and the
ML>  DD> orange sauce made the plate very slippery.

ML> The mental picture is rather amusing.

Sure. Now it is. Then ...........

ML>  DD> I got 'er et. But, it took a bit. And I wore a
ML>  DD> fair  amount of the sauce on my clothes as well as my
ML>  DD> face and fingers.

ML> That shouldn't have put you off ducks.

It hasn't/didn't. Just that I am seldom where duck is served and when I 
am I usually have a Jones for something else. Most of the duck I have 
had involved a meal at a hunter's house and eating something that was 
harvested in the wild.

ML> Of course nowadays duck is most often served as a puny
ML> half breast fanned out on a plate to look like a big
ML> serving.

ML>  DD> My  mother switching between being properly sober and
ML>  DD> supportive and breaking into displays of mirth didn't help a
ML>  DD> bit.

ML> I can't blame her for either switch.

ML>  DD> I have 3 1/2 teeth remaining in my upper jaw. Sometime next
ML>  DD> month I will  get them removed then wait a few for the
ML>  DD> swelling, etc. to subside and  go get some china clippers made
ML>  DD> up (acrylic really unless I am  especially flush with lolly and
ML>  DD> go for porcelain). Then maybe I will be  able to whistle "Big
ML>  DD> Noise From Winnetka" once more.

ML> I have thought of my dental future and lean toward plastic.

Me too, mostly.

ML>  DD> managed to stop at a  Friendly's in Peabody - but, it was a
ML>  DD> much better

ML> Friendly's has had its ups and downs, resulting in its
ML> being bought by Hershey Foods and then dumped; I'm not so
ML> sure who owns the chain now, but there are far fewer
ML> outlets than there used to be.

ML> I haven't had the ice cream in years.

ML>  DD> experience - even if  Zonker Harris wasn't our waiter.   Bv)=

ML> I missed that reference. 

Zonker was the perpetual student and stoner at Walden College in the 
Doonesbury comix strip. He got a job as a waiter at Friendly's after his 
the kid he was a nanny for grew out of needing a nanny. Currently Zonker 
and his nephew Zipper are in Colorado as recreational marijuana posing 
as a "gay" couple purveying their product.

  In a saute pan, over medium heat, add the olive oil. When
  the oil is hot, add the onions and saute for 1 minute. Add
  the duck confit and saute for 1 minute. Season with salt
  and pepper. Stir in the tamarind sauce and saute for 2
  minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the green
  onions and remove from the heat. 

  In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil for frying.
  When the oil is hot, fry the tortillas, a couple at a
  time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the
  tortillas from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate.
  Season the tortillas with salt and pepper. 

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk the sour cream, lemon juice
  and cilantro together. Season with salt and pepper. In
  another small bowl, combine the avocados, lime juice,
  garlic and 2 tablespoons tomatoes, together. Season the
  mixture with salt and pepper.

  To assemble, lay one tortilla in the center of each plate.
  Place 1/2 cup of the duck mixture on top of each tortilla.
  Top the duck meat with the shredded lettuce, tomatoes and
  cheese. Top with a second tortilla and repeat the latter
  procedure. Top each taco with the remaining tortillas.

  Garnish the tacos with cilantro, sour cream and guacamole.
