This time Tam takes a direct page out of Champhy's book and raps him gently on the head with a wooden spoon. "Kerobian... hands off..." he growls in a voice that sounds more like that of a lion than human.

"Close that oven now or we won't be eating until mid-night and I'll be sure to let everyone knows whose fault that is." he replies quietly, not moving but letting the cat know form the tone of his voice he was serious, really serious.

*Kero immediately closes it, and curls up...all innocence*
Why sira....surely you know that a chef must check the food....to be sure it's cooking right....
*His innocent eyes don't fool Tam one bit....as bright green as a mint plant...he's playing with Tam....trying for a laugh*

"Surely ye know that iffin ye pierce a ducks skin, it goes dry as it bakes..., especially at this stage... nice try, Kero... ye'll eat with the rest of us and I will be testing it, giving ye a sliver too iffin ye behave... closer to when it's time to take it out." He smiles wickedly. When I put the glaze on... so what glaze do ye think we should use this time?" asks Tam opening a cabinet and searching through a batch of jars, all home canned glazes.

*Kero moves over and open the oven...smelling....and shuts it...*
From the scent of the meat, I would say....one of the savory ones....but with a hint of sweet....my rosemary/sage/mint should do the trick....
**Real glaze I once watched being made...I think those were the herbs in it....been a long time since I cooked a duck....though I love it**

Tam nods and pulls down the jar, setting itto one side. He takes the vegetables he has finely chopped, plus some chicken broth, vinegar, sugar and nuts and adds it to the rice, mixing it well before setting it to keep warm and cook slowly over the back of the stove. It will make a great side dish to go with the rest of the meal.
**I used to love it, but can't have the fat anymore... sob... so sad... of course... when it is grilled outside and it all runs away.... xd (only trouble there are the flare up fires...)****

**I still love it....we just can't have it here....after all, heaven forbid we eat daffy and donald....it's like venison....we can't shoot Bambi, much less eat him.......obviously, I have very bad opinions of people like that**
*Kero smiles, and begins getting out things to make a dessert....good luck keeping that cub out of the kitchen....he loves it*

**that's whacha get fer livin in an edjurgated community (bad spelling intended there...)**
Tam smiles and together they work on dinner, coming up with quite a feast. Finally the meal is finished. The duck has been glazed and was now resting, waiting to be carved, the table set with their best linen, and the two in the sitting room have been woken up and told to wash. Tam goes out back and comes in with the wine, which he sets on the table with a flourish. He gives Kero a wink and pulls down not three but four wine glasses and sets them by their respective plates, then waits for everyone to take their seats.

"And I will be very cautious about letting you drink in the future." says Tam with a small proud smile. "But you are old enough now for an occasional glass and tonight is special."

"Don't thank me... ye haven't tasted it yet." laughs Tam heartily. "Wait until ye do."

Tam finds the corkscrew and begins to worry the cork from the bottle, thinking there ought to be a better way to bottle this stuff. Finally he gets it out and pours them all a glass to have with their dinner. He calls out to everyone. "Dinner is served. Come and get it..."
