Adventures in meat

Filed under: — Aprille @ 3:51 pm

Denny and I took a stroll through Tait’s Natural Foods today over lunch, because I forgot to pick up tilapia for dinner at Hy-Vee and I wanted to see if it was available there. It is, in fact, and I got us sufficient fish for the evening.

Even more exciting is the fact that they carry whole duck breast and rabbit. I have had a hell of a time finding duck breast. Whole duck is easy to find (and in fact there is one in my freezer right now, waiting to be smoked and turned into smoked duck empanadas for our party), but the the breast doesn’t generally offer enough meat to be served whole. And I seriously love a nice seared duck breast. I’ve come >this< close to ordering it online before, but the idea of meat sitting on my doorstep all after while I'm at work squigs me out. Therefore, I am very excited to have found a source. I am perhaps even more excited to find rabbit. I have never cooked rabbit in my life, and I haven't eaten it since the World Cup was in France (1998; the only reason I remember that is I happened to be in Spain near the French border at the time and it was World Cup mania). Any good rabbit recipe suggestions? -- Also: Tiffany, our friend Danny's wife, is in labor.  Yay!

    Even more exciting is that they apparently have “nuts galore!”
