Paper Chef #11 - Progress!

Yay! I found a duck today. It's being brined, actually thawing, in my secret brining solution. I now have all my ingredients - the four called for in the comp, and ones I'm adding, so, tomorrow is a big cooking day.

It's late, and I'm really hungry. I don't know why I have no appetite before about 2 in the afternoon, but I'm ravenous all night. It makes it difficult to share meals with people whose stomachs are on a more normal schedule.

Off to bed to dream of succulent duck with crispy skin. If the growling of my stomach doesn't keep me awake.
