It's been a while since I've done one of these….. so why not on a quiet Saturday night.

The Missus loves Her Brussel Sprouts, whether grilled with a balsamic glaze….

Roasted….or with one of those whole stalks brushed with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, then finished with a bit of "local style barbecue sauce".

We used some of our Duck Confit, to make a version of Parmentier de Canard Confit….think of it as a duck confit Shepherd's Pie.

The Missus wanted no cream in Her potatoes, so I used duck fat and the liquid from a saute of greens (kale and chard) to moisten the potatoes. Topped with panko and browned in the oven, this was delicious….though super rich. We used the last bit to make croquettes……hoooo man….

Here's the random sausage sandwich shot.

Here's one of the ways I ate watercress growing up…..found some nice watercress at Nijiya.

I think this is kind of "local" thing……shoyu and mayonnaise for watercress. Anyone else ate it like this?

And then, here's the Missus version of Butashiso….nice flavor, but a bit to tough. Nice try though!

Hope you survived T-Day and Black Friday!
