Great,it’s 4:41 am, my stomach is churning and the first thing I stumble into is the wonderfully beautifully roasted duck with the luscious brown skin that I imagine melting in my mouth. I almost melted. I hate you MM. waaaahhhhh! So as I’m wiping the drool off from my mouth, I’m writing this entry and preparing myself for a freshly microwaved bowl of oatmaeal.

Umm… please pardon my ignorance, but speaking of Pekin and Muscovy duck, what’s the difference between the local brown-feathered ducks and the white-feathered ones usually raised in the provinces? Is pato and itik one and the same? I’m also curious if the dressed ducks sold at Arranque market are… well… “acceptable”.

Absent kasi ako nung diniscuss ang ducks sa “culinary arts”, hehe. Thanks for any info that anyone out there can provide.

Keep up your COOLinary “school”, MM! Let’s not fuss about a single dropout; we are legions still enrolled.

thanks for the tip lee! she’s a feisty b%#@tch isn’t she? i have forwarded some incriminating MF links to everyone i know, regardless of how hilariously blown out of proportion she thinks the whole thing is. she really shouldn’t be allowed to get away with being so callous and tactless in a daily broadsheet.

lee, hahaha. I have intentionally been steering clear of that hot potato of an issue as I believe totally ignoring it is better than fanning the flames of notoriety… but I understand some of the heat generated so far.

i read aridelros’ comment several times pero i cannot make head nor tail of it. final response ko – huh? ganon din sya in Connie’s forum. sa ‘kin lang, mamatay ka sa inggit. MM – buti naman you deleted all his posts na. waste of space lang. been here so many times but this is my first post ever, and all because of the wannabe.

keep it up, and i hope you and your family enjoyed the missus’ special day.

Happy Birthday Mrs.MM. You sure were pampered with love and affection!!!Thank you MArketman for sharing your joy and letting us peek into your loving home. The colour scheme is fabulous….the whole atmosphere radiates love and warmth.

Aridelros, I wish you find joy and love in life. Appreciate the little joys, the glorious produce in the markets, the beauty of roses massed together…the flavour of food…joy in sharing a beautiful meal with family and friends… Life is too short to get bogged down in systems and procedures and how things “ought” to be done. Free your spirit and fill your soul with joy and love.

Hi Ai, they sell pancetta at Terry’s Delicatessen on Pason Tamo, Santis Delicatessen, several branches across the city and Galileo Enoteca in Mandaluyong and Makati. brownedgnat, I am not sure if they have muscovy ducks here, but I suspect not or rarely… and yes, the Pekin is less gamey…

Hi MM!
By the way Aridelros, I am one of MM’s loyalists who enjoys what he writes and what other people write to him about. Write your own blog and let us comment on it or NOT. You are probably afraid no one will.
