Duck a l'orange, home made mashed potatoes, corn spoon-bread and homemade macaroni and cheese. Oh and we had spinach dip and deviled eggs as an appetizer. Realized as we sat down to eat that a vegetable side was never even considered.
Oh and also our duck? We literally had to TRADE IT IN because we opened the butcher's wrap and it had FEET and it's HEAD still attached. I shrieked like a baby and ran from the kitchen the minute I saw the feet - never saw the head at all. We took it to Whole Foods and they took pity on us and gave us a fully dressed duck in exchange, even though we didn't buy it there. Beware specialty butchers - when they send you a whole duck they are NOT kidding around.
