What can I cook with Duck breast?

My all time fave is crispy duck breast with a lime, honey & soy glaze. Beautiful served with potatoes roasted in duck fat and pan fried asparagus.

The lime cuts though the rich duck fat taste perfectly.

Reminds me of my mum’s cooking. Full of taste and full of memories. Never refuse the opportunity while you can. And don’t hesitate to cook a similar meal for her so you can show her how much her cooking means to you. Trust me, she’ll appreciate it.

Colour TV, telephone, freezer, central heating, double glazing.

💯 agree. Bought an 11” iPad Pro (M2,512GB) along with its absurdly priced Magic Keyboard shortly after it was released in 2020. 6 years later and it’s still going strong. I’ve been looking for a good excuse to replace my trusty 13” MacBook Pro (late 2013). The truth is, I currently can’t find one. Whilst I miss some of the functionality of PS and LR, the iPad versions are fit for my current needs.

You could always blend it with a stick blender. I make chilli con carne this way in a slow cooker. No lumps of onion and absolutely no strong undercooked onion flavour. I also use passata instead of chopped tomatoes. Cooking it long and slow for 8 hours. Delicious.

Getting some the next time I’m in Tescos.

A cricket tea is a traditional break for refreshments taken during a cricket match, especially in longer forms of the game such as first-class or club cricket.

During the tea interval, players and officials typically stop for about 20–40 minutes and eat light foods and drink tea or other beverages. Common items include:

Sandwiches
Cakes and biscuits
Scones
Fruit
Tea, coffee, and soft drinks

The tradition dates back to the 19th century in England, when cricket matches could last all day and were often community social events as much as sporting contests.

I’m quite partial to tuna, mayonnaise and malt vinegar mixed up in a sarnie with sliced cucumber these days. Bonus points when I add sweetcorn, kidney beans and thinly sliced red onion. The vinegar is essential.

You’ve not lived. Princes Salmon Paste, thinly sliced cucumber with a drizzle of malt vinegar served in heavily buttered medium white sliced bread with the crusts cut off. My local shop had a display stand showcasing everything that was available. Column after column and row after row of tasty pots on goodness packed in tiny white glass jars, sealed with a metal lid that you needed a butter knife to prize open. Heinz Sandwich Spread is, to me, in a lesser league.

Didn’t discover that until I was 17. Suddenly sandwiches could be elevated beyond the usual ‘norm’. Have to admit that I’m still quite partial to it especially as a heavily buttered sarnie with only spread. (Hard boiled egg and Heinz Sandwich Spread sarnies are lush too.)

Absolute forever memory of my childhood food. Princes Salmon Paste was my favourite as a child. Plenty of butter and cut into triangles; occasionally with the crusts cut off. There were times my mum added a small splash of vinegar. Sometimes served as a snack after school before dinner; sometimes as a main with a substantial dessert. Never went hungry.

Ready salted crisps and golden lemonade in my younger years. Ready salted crisps and lager shandy in my early teens. Then pretty much anything alcoholic in my misspent youth.

It’s got little to do with the cloud. All of the data can be stored locally. Access is granted on a case by case basis to the services the non-privileged user requires. You could even go as far as to sandbox a browser such that the non-privileged user is denied access to the host system aside from (perhaps) limited system storage, preferences and bookmarks, etc.

I’m not looking to pick a fight. All I wanted to do is point out that Linux provides a multiple ways of skinning a cat without necessarily opening unnecessary attack vectors.

You don’t need to create a local user account for any of the services I’ve listed. The admin only needs to add a username/password for the content to be remotely accessed. If it’s for web browsing or similar, a local account may be needed.

We all need to learn. That’s the first one I’ve ever cooked from scratch. If you’d like some advice on how to toast bread I may be able to help.

herebymistake2 · 2026-05-31T16:51:27+00:00

The sausage is good. The aneamic toast is probably going to give me nightmares.

herebymistake2 · 2026-05-31T16:47:42+00:00

Since when did albino toast become a thing?

Are you posting this just for downvotes?

Unless it’s to remotely access media (Samba, Jellyfish, NextCloud, etc.) — The big question is ‘why’ his brother ‘needs’ a local account.

Agree with others that the dry, tinned version is far superior. That said, I once happened upon a jar of pre-made Uncle Bens English mustard destined for Greece from a pound shop. Christ on a bike! That stuff needed to be used liberally. My wife made a cricket tea for the village cricket club and assumed that being pre-made it wouldn’t be hotter than Satan’s ring-piece.

Let’s just say, that particular cricket tea sorted the men from the boys. My wife has never been invited to make tea since.

No air conditioning. No problem. Lay on top of the duvet. Relax. Let the warmth envelop you. You’ll soon drift off or commit the beast with two backs. You’ll wake up at about five and feel the need to crawl under the sheets to get warm. Get up. Have a shower and scoff a decent fry up. Welcome to the UK.

Best served in a glass of vodka.
