time to make the ducks

For our combined Zamborsky Thanksmas this year, we didn't do a full Slovak Christmas Eve meal. However, we did tweeze out a favorite tradition: the making of the ducks!

Without Grandmom Gallo around to award a shiny nickel to the best duck, we were reduced to our own catty judgments, and maybe even a little trash-talking. The wine flows, the kitchen steams up, and the gloves come off. It's all part of the ritual.

I didn't get any pictures of the finished product, which have been brushed with egg and baked to a nice golden brown. They got gobbled up with the Thanksgiving meal. Because, at this time of year, you can never have too many carbs.
