The Orange Duck is back!

We went to Prague. It was lovely. My mother paid for everything... she was planning to go with friends from Seattle... but because of the infamous Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull they were unable to get to Europe... so, lucky us! We stayed at the truly beautiful Iron Gate Hotel with its professional and helpful staff and lovely rooms.
A lot of fun was had, good food was enjoyed, and the cultural programme was excellent.
The highlights included:
1) Kampa Park Restaurant with a beautiful view of the Charles Bridge and delicious dishes.
2) the Castle and Cathedral. The audio-guided tour is totally worth it!
3) Prague on Segway was lots of fun and a great way to see the city.
4) the Lobkowicz Palace with its amazing collection. Take the audio-guided tour!

At the Kampa Park DH had the duck trio which included duck á l'orange. And so he finally figured out what it was supposed to taste like (he wasn't too happy with his first attempt on April 18). And yesterday he made it with the breast of the organic duck we bought and froze two weeks ago. Below you can see yesterday's creation: duck á l'orange accompanied by duck liver tempura with crème fraîche and celery mashed-potatoes with home-made potato chips.

It was very good. And the sauce was much more delicate than in the first attempt.
Ah, I am so lucky.
