Mon mari, le chef de cuisine

Last night we had duck for dinner.  Not just any old duck, but pan-seared with a honey citrus glaze...a recipe made up entirely by none other than Thomas J. Hunt!  As any of you who have visited can attest to, Tom has really become quite the French chef over here.  Besides duck, his specialties include: pork chops with a red wine mushroom sauce; crispy potatoes and sausage with creme fraiche gravy; roasted garlic, egg and warm goat cheese sandwiches (on a fresh baguette, of course); and frittata with fresh market vegetables.  Are you drooling yet?  It becomes even more impressive when I tell you that this is all made on a terribly finicky two-burner electric stove with one frying pan and one pot. 

"How does my cooking always turn out so amazing?!"

Tom has always been a creative and skilled chef- especially with meats- but being here in the land of "gourmandise" has really inspired him to take it to a new level.  (That, and the fact that I don't get home in the evenings until 9pm, so he is automatically relegated to dinner-duty.)  I have really enjoyed reaping the benefits of his talent and just wanted to take a moment to brag about it. :)  Thank you, mon mari!
