Wild Duck

FOR

To begin with, the duck should be left in the refrigerator for at
least seven days, giving it proper time to age. Then clean the bird
well and stuff with chopped onion and celery. Get your oven red
hot-about 450°. When the oven is good and hot, put the bird
in and cook it medium rare (18 minutes) until it is a nice brown
color. After removing from the oven take a carving knife or
duck shears and cut off two nice fi let steaks to be served on
a platter nicely garnished with a little parsley and lemon.
Press the juice from the carcas and place in a skillet, adding
2 ounces of red wine, 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt,
pepper, a kernel of garlic, and a small piece of butter. After this
mixture becomes lukewarm in the skillet, take the yolk of an egg
and mix in thoroughly, which will thi cken this gravy. When the
duck is served with this gravy, along with a bottle of fine red
wine, I'll say you can't beat it.

Mud Hens a la Mahaffey
After you have stumbled in 4 or 5 creeks over your head, your
dog has failed to retrieve, and you have had to sw im out your elf
to do the dog's job, and then finally arrived home late at night with
the mud hens to find Mrs. Mahaffey - or YOUR wife - gone
south-
Prepare a nice fire and keep refueling until you have a nice
deep bed of red hot coals.
Next take a clean white pine plank and after thoroughly cover·
ing the bird with a nice thick coa t of mud, tie it very secu rely to
the pine plank. Bury bird and plank as deep in the coals as pos·
s ible and leave it there until you start drooling at th e mouth. Next
remove the feathered sweeti e and cut the string. Finally-and thi s
is MOST IMPORTANT- throw th e bird over your left shoulder
and ea t the plank.
This is particularly recommended for operators who have some

When I am "batching it" for any reason, and am obliged to pre·
pare my own meals, I invariably fall back on a dish which is a
great favorite of mine, and which we call:
Bachelor Chow
1 pkg. spaghetti
lib. good hamburger s teak
1 med. onion
1 can tOlna to soup
salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the spaghetti in the usual way, boiling 'till tender in
salted, rapidly boiling water. Blanch and set as ide, and then pre·
pare the meat as follows:
Mince the onion and add to the raw hamburger. Put the ham·
burger in a skillet and cook over a medium flame, stirring and
turning with a fork until fully cooked and properly browned.
Add the cooked hamburger to the spaghetti, together with the
can of tom ato soup. Mix thoroughly and heat until good and hot.
Serves on ly ONE, and that is YOU. You'll eat it all yourself.
Let the rest of the family prepare their own CHOW.
Both spaghetti and hamburger are foods which appeal to all
men, and when the two are blended properly, as they are here,
then you have something to brag about and something to smack
your lips over.
Oh yes - if you're interested, ask me for my non·explosive
Cream Puff recipe.
