The Duck Roasting Saga

It's been years since I've posted anything in the Food Category, so it is time to amend that! Yesterday was the first real snow day here in New England, so I tried roasting a duck. This duck had been in my freezer for at least a year, and I had started thawing it on Sunday with the idea of doing something exciting with it. After a bit of browsing, I came across an amazingly cheerful Boston food blog called The Hungry Mouse, which has a fabulously-detailed article on the best way to roast a duck. It's written with true passion for ducky goodness, and so I gladly followed the instructions. My duck got a little burned, but otherwise it was quite edible if dry. Check out the Flickr Photo Set if you'd like to see how the roasting went, with pictures taken at each stage.
