What's for dinner tonight ?

With the cold weather and spending a couple days chasing waterfowl I was in need of a pick me up hearty soup. Turned duck leftovers into an udon noodle ginger soup with grouse stock base. Mixed in some garden kale, garlic, bock choy and a couple garden chili peppers for some heat it was a nice rich and salty broth. The base was ruffed grouse stock. If you take the time to pluck and roast your birds they make fantastic stock. Pic of said duck who graced the soup.

Picked up a few Partridges on my last run.
Decided to stuff a couple for DinDin last night:

Slow roasted for just one hour, then let stand for 15 minutes or so:

Cheers
 
They truly are pillows of happiness. When they're done right. Store bought are junk. Disgusting in fact. Hard, chewy, floury junk.
Store bought are deplorable. There’s a hole in the wall in Montreal by Fairmount Bagels that sells a huge container for $5. Spicy or regular, with a ton of parm. They’re real good, but yours look better!
 
Seared spring with baked scallop and braised chard & leeks on rice. Smashed cucumber salad on the side.

Also made some nuts chili oil, it’s unreal
