Hey - I'm not the one asking ...Have you been told that often?
Out of curiosity, how large a package does a duck have?
Small, very small...
We are now over in Australia, so no Thanksgiving for us. Can't even find pumpkin pie mix, but I have lots of other things to be thankful for!

I've made this a couple of times, it is soooooo good, but takes me 3 days to get it all together and about 10 days to eat it all.

I looked up Costco's description of the duck package. Nice, very nice... Large, very large...
Here's the excerpt from Costco so the reader can see for him/herself.
Magret duck breasts are plump, juicy and meaty and often referred to as a “Duck Steak”. Magret duck breasts are also twice as big as a regular duck breast.Price: $130 for 6 duck breasts and 6 duck leg confit. A lot less than what one would pay in a restaurant. It's too bad my wife is not crazy about duck as I do. I also got my fix recently in a restaurant, so my craving has subsided for now. Still, when one thinks of the description above...
Just a seasonal question....
I Googled "pumpkin and Australia" and found this site
Gardening Australia - Growing pumpkins
"In frost-free tropical and subtropical gardens, pumpkins can be grown all year round. In temperate Australia plant or sow outside after the last frost."
If the last frost was in, say, September, the prime season for harvesting pumpkins in temperate Australia might be, say, December. Are pumpkins commonly found on the supermarket shelves in Oz? When are they in season? How popular are they?
I grew up in Ireland and the only thing I knew about pumpkins as a child was that Cinderella's carriage was made out of one.
What is amazing to me is that they say 6 duck breasts = 5 pounds minimum. That means each breast is over 0.8 lbs - that's huge! The legs are 5 oz each in comparison.I looked up Costco's description of the duck package. Nice, very nice... Large, very large...

Pumpkin is routinely eaten as a vegetable in Australia, like we eat butternut squash or sweet potatoes.Just a seasonal question....

We will be hosting Thanksgiving. We are very thankful for our family. After we retired to the Upstate of South Carolina, my son and family moved within 30 minutes of us. My daughter, who was working in Florida, just got a job in a town 40 minutes away. We will have the entire family together. We are blessed!
