Yumm! Great idea making the skin crispy. We often buy the roast duck in an asian butchers in Wollongong and never thought to make that delicious fat into even more delicious crackle! Do you think the crispy skin would last an hour travelling? Or does it really need to be done just before serving? .-= Vanessa Pike-Russell´s last blog ..Travelling around Tasmania =-.

That sort of food on the long weekend was quite something. All the dishes were near perfect says my tastebuds.

Eating duck chips and leftover roast pork as midnight snack watching movies was surreal.

Sign me up for round 2.. and 3… and 4…!!

@Billy : Chips taste great, no gamey taste at all. The only part which got me was the duck fat cooking process, it made my house stink.

@Helen : It looked more elaborate that it was! Duck was prepurchased and chips are just chips. And yes, I look forward to catching up on movies and eventually blogging

@Y : It took me 20 shots to get down to those 2.

@Steph : Surely duck fat can’t be good for us, but we only live once!

@Arwen : This is the second dish which I will now only eat at home! The first being chilli mud crab, they both are so easy.

@shez : It was very chilled, shame it was too cold to swim.

@flapflap : Peking duck post on the way! How long did it take you to recover ? I can’t wait until rehab.

@Simon : Duck is your favourite too eh ?

@Ellie : I was going to make the beer bread, but my mates went shopping and we ended up with too much bread! next time.

@Reemski : Too bad the weekend was too short :/

@Alex : Thanks, very flattering. I am going to setup the iPhone plugin for WordPress very soon … just need to get around to it.

@Lesley : Boiling water should work as well! You should come back for another visit to Oz, but not now though it is freezing cold in Sydney.

Hi, I enjoyed reading your blog! It reminds me of the holidays in Oz, sooo laid back. I will try pouring the boiling water over the duck next time we cook it, I've done it with pork, it shrinks the skin (Pre cooked state only)...Great photo's ;0) lesley’s last blog post..Italian Dessert-Crostata di frutta- Fruit Tart.

Oooh, can you give me the peking duck pancake recipe? We’ve tried really complicated ones before without success so it’d be great to have an easy one that works Good luck with the knee recon, I had an ACL reconstruction last year and went indoor rock climbing for the first time since on the long weekend

Oh my, twice fried duck fat chips!!! It's far too early in the morning for them but I am still salivating at the thought! Everything tastes amazing with duck fat. Your roast pork and duck looks so crispy too, yum. Envious! Steph’s last blog post..Gingerbread Scones

“We didn’t cook up any elaborate meals”… and yet I spy homemade Peking duck and pancakes made from scratch? And chips twice-fried in duck fat? lol. Looks like you guys had a non-stop delicious feast!

And as for the knee post-op, think of how much blogging you can catch up on!

You have inspired me to make my own peking duck now... looks simple enough. What does the chips taste like fried in duck fat? Wouldn't it bit gamey taste? I am intrigued..... and good luck with the surgery man.... billy@ATFT’s last blog post..Rosebud - Rozelle, NSW
