Day 79: I purchased some duck legs, quite unsure what to do with them. Upon investigation, the best way to prepare them is confit, which literally means to cook them submerged in duck fat.
...I often wonder who came up with this stuff originally.
Apparently, cooking the duck in the fat is a way to preserve it. Tonight, to start the process, I mixed up some herbs, salt, and pepper, and spread that liberally over the legs. I put them, skin-side up, in the fridge to cure overnight.
Tomorrow, ADVENTURE!! :)
