Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

You Can’t Have Zee Duck

019

Remember that line from the movie LA Story?  Steve Martin is having an interview with the Maitre D' at a posh restaurant to determine if his finances will allow him to have dinner at the establishment.  It was determined that he "cannot have zee duck".  He "can only have zee chicken". 

Well, we had our duck this weekend at a lovely autumn themed dinner at my daughter Sara's house.  That is her table scape above.  And this was our duck breast with wild mushrooms and fig sauce dinner.

  3. I just love that there are people who love to cook, because I love to eat and enjoy their food! That looks scrumptious.

  5. Lovely table, main course, and dessert!
    I love seasonal decor and seasonal foods. We enjoyed home made pumpkin bread here!
    It’s always a delight to watch LA Story, too.
    Hugs!

  9. I’ve never eaten duck… Is there anything that comes close to it in taste? texture? The meal looks delish and I’m sure it was wonderful fun to be around your loved ones!

  17. We spent our weekend with family too, is there anything better than family and good food? I think it’s the perfect combination.
    I’m itching to see and hear all about the quilt show!!
