Ducks…Fun to Watch (and sometimes good in a burrito)

Ducks!

I guess it’s no surprise that I love to cook and well…eat. So, I’ve been trying really hard to exercise everyday. The last few months, I’ve been walking a minimum of two miles per day while at work. See, there’s a duck pond by my office and thanks to the neat-o pedometer this person rigged up using google maps, I’ve determined that each lap around the duck pond is a little over a quarter mile. So, I do about eight laps per day — four in the morning and four in the afternoon.

And, it being a duck pond and all, there are, well, ducks. There is one that is my favorite. I call him Dalmation!Duck. He is dark brown (almost black), with white spots.

In the photo, he’s the one in the foreground. The spots are kind of hard to see, but trust me, he’s spotted. He’s Dalmation!Duck. I would never eat him in a burrito, even though once, I had a really amazing duck meat burrito here, at the Aqui Grill, one of our favorite places to eat in the Bay Area.
