How can one expect someone to stay fit when they are surrounded by amazing restaurants and fine cuisines while on their vacation? It can't possibly be asked of someone to ignore such delicious distractions. With dishes such as refreshing appetizers of Gazpacho in Spain, noodles combined with sliced duck breast and scallions in Japan and dishes of crab filled baked shrimp surrounded by a champagne cream sauce in Italy, who has the power to fight it all? Well while you're having fun experiencing bistro after bistro hardcore exercising is the last thing on your mind. So what should you do to keep from putting on the extra pounds? Here are a few suggestions to keep that waistline slim and trim.
Christmas wont be Christmas without the food. And deciding what to serve on your menu would rely on the number of guests that you have. If it's a small Christmas dinner party, it would be nice to serve something fancy like a slow cooked duck breast oven, or chicken. Prepare something that would let your family know that you spent a lot of time on it, this will let them know how special they are for you. And to kick the spirit of Christmas up a notch, you should also bake a cake or some cookies.
After dinner, the family dances around the Christmas tree, which means that they walk around the Tree holding hands and singing Christmas hymns and songs. The Christmas presents are underneath the the tree. The presents are distributed on Christmas Eve. Father Christmas sometimes visits to distribute the presents if there are children in the home.
We tried a few of the appetizers and among these, my favorite was the Escargots in Puff Pastry with Cognac and Garlic Cream Sauce. The puff pastry was buttery, flaky and very good and it was offset well by the cream sauce. It went very well with the champagne, but then, most things do. We sampled the crab cakes as well, and while good, they did not match the excellence of the escargots. For the entree, I ordered the pan roasted how to cook duck & Leg confit, I asked for it rare and unfortunately it was a little too rare for my taste, but this was just a minor thing. My friend thoroughly enjoyed his Lobster & Seafood Fricassee and found it very fresh and tasty. He also sampled the freshly farmed abalone and found it thick and perfect.
Put a liner in the crock. According to the Reynolds Web site, slow cooker duck liners are made of heat-resistant nylon and designed for easy clean-up. The liner is simply thrown away. But using a liner doesn't get you out of cleaning the crock. Even if you don't see a drip, you should still wash the crock for food safety.
Otherwise, how about a classic chili wrap using pancakes as the wrap? Just make up some basic meat sauce, add cooking a whole crispy duck few slices of avocado, some grated cheese and away you go.
Now that you understand how to cook duck well, experiment! Impress your family and friends with a gourmet duck cooking recipe, or try barbecuing or grilling duck breasts, remembering to cut through the skin and fat first, then cook slowly.
