It floats, be-jesuss....

[drwho]

Why kitchen corner ? I love duck (brough) So the duck-house floats, it's a miracle!..In the picture is the local duck swimmer teacher, these ducks have never seen water, so we wait events.....

[drwho]

His pupils: 'chronicity & sin, so it shouldn't be too difficult should it ? yeh right loads of fun...

[FABlux]

Looking good George

[jj]

Did you copy that design from Sir Peter Viggers infamous duck house ?
And did it cost less than the £1645 he claimed for his ?
Business opportunity maybe....

[BBLUX]

Excellent, well done George! Right, now for the floating approach ramps

[drwho]

All in all about £150 squid and there's alot of all in all, the ducks were free, I mean I didn't want bloody ducks, but it's a bit difficult and rude to say, 'no ta, I've had rabbits given to me they died, a chicken called brian he ate anything and everything, till we ate brian, pigeons breeding like rabbits, 6 warrens very discreet and a house-cat with no-name, he suffers me and the menagerie.
I would have had my dog, Tyson but some thevin egyptian nicked him from down ramla way...
ps: watch this post swimmin lessons next........
I forgot to include Archimedes, he released my level of intelligence and flew off bit like the ex...

Aquaphobic Ducks


This sophisticated dish is perfect for dinner guests. The sauce can be prepared ahead of time and the duck seared right before serving. A glass of Chablis enhances the meal. or Stella J'preferer

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:

* ¼ cup granulated sugar
* 2 tablespoons water
* 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar

* 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
* 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
* 4 oranges, sections cut from membranes
* 2 duck breast halves, seasoned with salt and pepper
* ¼ cup unsalted butter
* 2 tablespoons orange zest

Preparation:

Boil the sugar and water for several minutes, until the syrup caramelizes and turns a golden brown colour. Add the vinegar, juice, shallots, and chicken stock and simmer until the sauce is reduced to a little less than a cup. Add butter and 1 tablespoon of orange zest. Stir in orange sections.

In a skillet, sear the duck breasts over high heat. Cook the duck for about 9-11 minutes on each side. Pour the prepared sauce over the duck breasts and garnish with the remaining orange zest.

I'll see if I can dig out a recipe for Owl butties next...

I've been sitting watching & learning about my ducks, their reactions to aqua-living, and whilst pondering the flotation and nature of my big canal, my thoughts wandered to returning to blighty,
I would love to hear from the first passengers on the first flight into UK airspace, if of course your not 'up to your neck's in british soil....

[BBLUX]

So, have they taken to it like ducks to water?

I like the little ramp, did you steal it from a felluca?

[Bullet Magnet]

Difficult to tell, but do you have some kind of Portcullis arrangement going on in the doorway Dr ?

[Christine]

Its stunning George it really is, and how could you forget Archimedes, is he fully grown

[Helsx]

Ramp from Chez Georges to Chez Ducks?...So Chronicity & Sin don't require acquatic knowledge now??

[BBLUX]

I suspect the ramp is so they can get from land to their house without getting their feet wet........hmmmm!

[drwho]

I have locked them in for a couple of days to get used to living on water today I will remove the portcullis and watch the results, spotted a 3ft warren cruising by yesterday...
One observation is I should have made it round so all those shoes, coke bottles and rubbish slid on by it...

[Horus]

Glad you mentioned the Warrens, my first reaction was that you had created a Monitor Lizard feeding station. It would be better off if you raised it on a small pontoon to keep it higher in the water, with a floating ramp that only supported the weight of a duck without sinking.

[drwho]

There first steps into the void......

[drwho]

Plan B: Chronicity & Syn have swum off to explore greater horizons. So off to the souk on Tuesday to buy another pair, la whaala!.........

[Kevininabydos]

Plan B: Chronicity & Syn have swum off to explore greater horizons.

More likely went to join the warrens for lunch!

Those ducks don't deserve you drw!
