This is a good Marcella, that I haven’t made in a long while. Substitute ground pork for beef. Awesome autumn or winter dinner.

"You have duck fat but no butter??"

Yes. Spouse roasted the world's fattiest duck on Friday. LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS A QUART JAR. ABSURD.

Quart jar 3/4 filled with duck drippings, more than half of which is fat.

Print copies are here! They've escaped Canada Post strike purgatory!

I'm keeping a paperback 'cause even though I cook these recipes a lot, I don't have them all memorized.

Sending 2 each to Library and Archives Canada and will scatter some among the Little Free Libraries in #NewWest.
