Duck is wonderful stuff... ;-)
I'm debating starting up the wood grill, and maybe doing a light 24 hour
citrus marinade.

I bought 5 of them at $7.00 each from the Thai store. I will be cooking
for 3 people, possibly 5. Not sure yet. If the other two don't work out,
I can roast the other two later in the year.

The only drawback to buying them from the thai store is that the head
and feet are still attached to the carcass. <G>

'zactly. ;-) But if I have even one Christmas guest, I should have it
available...

Mmm... but raw onion does not agree with me. I'd have to cook it a bit,
or use some shallot. Minced green onions would also work.
