Duck Dinner

I wrote this a while ago, and forgot I didn't post it.  So, this is the old stuff:

Yeah, Anton's really into duck hunting.  He brings one home about every other day and we have duck for dinner.  It's pretty good-- but only when it's cooked right, otherwise it's not so good.  And I can't eat it as a leftover.  I like to bake it in the oven for a couple hours.  It tastes like a really good pot roast (with less fat).  Nothing like chicken, which is what I had been expecting.  But the best part is that Anton loves it.  Duck season ends on Friday and then he will move on to coyotes.

I can't be a full time student this semester because it's my off track and they changed the rules-- I now have to come up with the money myself (which is kind of hard, since I spend most of my life being a student instead of earning money).  But I got a loan so I could at least keep taking Russian.  It's a lot better when I only have that to study.  But it's still hard.
Since I'm not a full-time student I decided to tuff it out and keep my job a while longer.  Also I work out with Shantal every night.  I'm still in pain from working out too hard when we first started (almost two weeks ago).  So I haven't been cooking more.  But I am going to... because I need to eat more, otherwise all this working out is doing me no good.  Well, maybe some good.

I got everything I need to make bread and started on it after I got home from work tonight... and realized I need to buy dry milk.  Thought I had everything, but I didn't.  Anton was pretty bummed.  I told him I'll go to the store first thing in the morning and get some dry milk and he will have hot, fresh bread waiting for him in the afternoon.
