James and I trundled over to D’s house today for a spot of home cooking by D and also, probably for the first time ever in history, to watch one of the Twilight movies where the ratio of males to females was in favour of the males. Ha! James I still can’t believe you maintain that when we went to watch New Moon the male/female split was even. Ha again!

D has certainly mastered the art of understated cooking. The whole process seemed so simple – a few cracks of pepper here, a bit of herbs there, some chill for bite on to the duck and into the oven she goes. In the meantime whilst that was cooking he also prepped up some salmon and prawns for our starters. Mmm ….

The duck came out gorgeous and though the potatoes were admittedly already pre-cooked they still roasted up very nicely. A great meal indeed by D and when visiting D you certainly can’t complain that he doesn’t feed you. I don’t think I’ll need to eat for a week … at least!
