I'm so full. It's been a longstanding tradition that as a birthday gift @pjo gives me a night of coming together. I honestly couldn't tell you how long we've been doing it. It began with outlandish, rich recipes, we'd never be able to afford at restaurant until one year it became a roast duck. And then roast duck kinda stuck. We'd prep and cook and chat and do lame bits (the best kind of bits), and drink a lot of bourbon. I had fully resigned myself that this year it wasn't going to happen. And was even trying to think of way to double down on delicious next year. But I didn't get far because Nako is the greatest. She somehow, totally unbeknownst to me, got a hold of Peter (who she has no contact info), found an amazing roast duck recipe, picked up all the ingredients, and I walked into the kitchen to a long distance birthday tradition via Zoom. We preped, we cooked, we chatted, we did lame bits (the best kind of bits), and we drank a lot of bourbon Now I'm sitting on the couch totally exhausted and wonderfully full. Full of duck and bits and bourbon and friendship and love. But mostly love. And duck. Thanks to you both for an incredible birthday present. ❤️🍗🥃🎁❤️ (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJVVCJsgQWe/?igshid=irvn3flnoryz
