Duck Eggs FAIL!

Well Gabe had a mild reaction today. Soooo it looks like the duck eggs are out. :( He's got a rash on his back and 4 or 5 really tiny spots on his face around his mouth. And he was complaining of being really itchy. Oh well. We may try again at some point just to make sure he didn't grab something that we weren't aware of or anything, but for now I'm taking them off my list of can eats. (actually I don't think I bothered to add them on in the first place yet. See I'm learning!)

Duck, Duck, Goose!

Well I found some duck eggs and finally cooked them up today. I was told that duck eggs taste, "different" and so I was worried they would be gross. Actually they were really good. I liked them and Gabe LOVED them!!!!! So that is nice that if I want to, I can now sub eggs with duck eggs instead of always applesauce. Don't get me wrong I LOVE applesauce as a sub, (1/4 a cup per egg 1/8 a cup per egg white), but it's only good if it's being used as a moistening or binding agent. If it's for helping leavening then it's not so good. :( And now I can make homemade quiche. :) Mmmmm!
