Who Makes a Stuffed Duck a la “The Christmas Story?”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You know the duck I mean… the Chinese duck in the movie “The Christmas Story?” Bud Namu makes a mean Korean duck cooked in a clay pot and stuffed with rice and chestnuts.
Where else can we find a stuffed duck on Christmas Day?

What’s your favorite holiday party food?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For years, friends threw a Christmas party that my husband and I started calling the Lamb Chop party. A huge bowl of medium-rare chops, filled with dozens and constantly replenished, stood on every buffet table. Even with platters of boiled shrimp, sliced ham and beef tenderloin, pasta alfredo and other temptations close at hand, we stuck by the lamb chops.
The Lamb Chop party, unfortunately, is no more. This year, I’m noticing a lot more grab-and-go party food, like chips still in the bag and those ubiquitous brownie bites — which nobody is going to mistake for a homemade dessert, no matter how they’re cut up and arranged.
OK, OK. We know, it’s the getting together with friends that counts, not that anybody took the time to prepare some food to share with them. Still, I’d rather burn the calories on something homemade than baby carrots or pink frosted cookies from a black plastic tray.
What’s your favorite holiday party food? What’s worth the calorie splurge?
