canard.l'orange

you woke up feeling your throat is a little sore today. not a good sign and you try to combat it with lemon honey water, extra vitamin c dosage and citrus fruits.
you went to church anyhow because you have skipped last week and not feeling well is not an excuse. with your determination, you went and sing your heart out albeit your rusty and little sore throat. it's good to worship God and you certainly enjoying you time with God very much. He is Emmanuel - God with us, the very fact that Christmas is about the love of God being demonstrated by giving His begotten son-Jesus to be born on earth, as a gift to man.

 you cooked a french classic duck dish with a twist, since you are not roasting the whole dick but just a generous portion of duck breast for two.

it's not difficult and you follow your gut feeling about the caramelized orange sauce.
the duck was nicely done even though not all the sauce are caramelized. it has a lovely refreshing citrus aroma and go perfectly with celeriac and potato mash.
you enjoyed yours with a glass of red wine. it feels Christmasy even though there are 2 more days to go.
you are not feeling any better, in fact you voice is getting huskier, it's time to dive in and rest.
