Duck, pork sausage, twice baked potatoes roasted vegetables, and fresh blueberry, vanilla ice cream

     Great show last night by George Lopez---didn't cook anything last night. Got 4 stitches in my left ankle--long story. I first started prepping the blueberry ice cream. I mixed a cup of fresh blueberries and heavy cream. I heated 2 cups of milk and put a fresh Tahitian vanilla bean in it. I whisked two egg yolks and a cup of sugar. i mixed them together and let them cool. 

   I put duck beast with African curry spices in the sous vide at 149 degrees. I also put russet potatoes in the oven at 375 degrees. I prepped the squash, onions, garlic, carrots, mushrooms, and fennel with olive oil and herbs. After an hour I took the potatoes out and sliced ff the top and took the potatoes filling out. I mixed the filling with fresh chives, basil, scallions, butter,garlic, and herbs. I stuffed the potatoes with potato filling and baked it. I also put the vegetables in the oven.

   I took the duck breast out, and seared the skin. I used the dripping to make a sauce. I sliced the duck breast and added fried Italian ham to the potato. I pared this with a 2001, Penfolds RWT (Red Winemaking Trials) Shiraz. Great wine--blackberry, svelte taste

Dessert was fresh blueberry ice cream.
