Now that I've got to try! Is there a particular type of tea to use? Like
Green Tea for a male Mallard?

Pat


We used a fairly robust black tea, Lapsang Souchong IIRC.


That's my favorite tea, BTW. The concept of your recipe seems to be to
produce smoked duck if I'm reading it right.

Pat
Essentially, however it smokes in a low-oxygen environment.

Depends on calibre and muzzle velocity. With fish like Eric, though,
a shotgun is adequate, and one shot will do ya.

Netting Eric is like fishing for Farm Trout. It's so easy, you feel
guilty.

Ahh... unless you are using a slug, the shotgun projectile will probably
have more than one piece of shot in it- that's why they call it a
"shotgun"- because it fires multiple shot rather than a bullet... I still
think this is an odd way to fish, but using thermite to boil a pond full
of ducks is a little odd also, but at least does not lack in imagination.

Unlikely - wather's a great heat sink. But - Thermit will allow you
to hold the first underwater Duck Barbecue and Fish Fry. That sounds
pretty good.

However, it is a lousy way of cooking duck. To cook American ducks correctly
requires something that lets the fat leak out. (One way we've found that is
very nice is to poke holes in the skin, steam it til most of the fat has
rendered out, and the roast it.) Oddly enough, some European ducks are so
lean that they have to be barded (wrapped in fat) to cook well.

Well, sir, you've made me look up my Grandmother's Wild Duck
(Sheldrake, actually, - a Maine version of Merganser) stew.

1) Obtain 1 Sheldrake.
2) Take a medium-sized Cauldron (Ask the Theater Folks downta Gould
Academy if they're done with the one they borrowed for Macbeth.) Set
up a tripod, build a good hardwood (Birch & Poplar, mostly) fire, &
boil up a batch of water. Toss in the Sheldrake, and an old Axe head.
3) Continue boiling, adding water as necessary, for 1 week.
4) Add a couple of rabbits, Drawn & Quartered, and a Beaver Tail or 2
if you've got any around. Keep boiling another day or so.
5) Add as much Potatoes, Carrots, & other Root Vegetables as you can
stand.
6) Stew is doen whe you can stick a fork into the Axe Head. When you
can, throw away the Sheldrake and eat the Axe Head.

The contract is nothing but a piece of paper without a fair justice

Fear of retaliation seems to be why so many WalMart workers don't argue
when told to do "off the clock" overtime. This results in many of them
being paid less than minimum wage; certainly less than the contract
promised.

Which continues to have nothing to do with whether or not there should
be a minimum wage.
