That looks good. I wouldn't fiddle around with boiling the bacon. They want you to boil the bacon to remove the salt, and then instruct you to add salt later??? I would take it through browning the chicken with the onions and garlic, then remove the chicken to a separate container, and add the stock, but not the wine and herbs. I wouldn't remove the fat. At that point I would stick the pot in the fridge overnight (and the chicken, separately). Next day, remove the solidified fat.* That's how you get a flavorful stock, and you don't have to fiddle around so much. You need a good quality wine for this dish, too. Then put the chicken and the stock back together and finish the dish from there. *I usually leave about a quarter of the fat. Fat is flavor. |

Forgot something. After you de-fat the chilled stock, you need to warm it up on the burner and strain it to get rid of the bacon bits and whatnot, so the stock is nice and clear when you resume the recipe. No great harm if you didn't do this, but better if you do. |

Cooking for my hosts tonight. Liberty Duck breasts (a brand, fantastic product) with a port wine/duck stock reduction with rosemary and dried cherries. Yum. Suggestions for side dishes? |

I'm not quite as fancy as those folks, but a baked sweet potato along a wild rice based side dish would be mighty tasty in my book... |

It's the cherries. I wonder if the cherries and a sweet potato is too much sweet. Maybe better something like the grilled pepper salad or roast asparagus (if available) would balance better? |

Baguette with fantastic olive oil and Dukkah, roast asparagus with shaved parmesan. Wanted to keep it simple because dessert will be pretty spiffy. Late harvest Semillion paired with three cheeses, a creme brulee and a lemon tart. |

Lots of water the next week. You might squeeze the juice of a lemon and a couple of shots of cayenne pepper into a glass of water first thing in the morning. (This sounds bad, but it isn't; it tastes cleansing.) Take it easy on eating, especially meat. |
