For New Year's Day, we had lasagna, so tonight I'm making duck à l'orange. I was almost tempted to attempt the eighteenth-century version translated here, but instead I'm just going with the recipe from a 1943 issue of Gourmet (partly because I had already started it by the time I thought to throw "caneton à l'orange" into Google . . .). Have I mentioned how truly unhappy I am that the magazine has been shut down by Condé Nast and its subscription replaced with Bon Appétit, which is really not the same? It's enough to make me worry about The New Yorker. And if anything happens to Cook's Illustrated, I'll hurt someone.
Right. I have to start the Indian pudding. (I'm also experimenting with desserts. Last night was gingerbread with pears, very dark and not sweet.) Things of actual interest later on.
