I cooked 'crispy' duck today. It wasn't entirely crispy, and it certainly wasn't dry like you'd get from a takeaway... and we used corn tortillas instead of the nice thin pancakes. I had a couple with hoisin sauce from a jar which was pretty good, and one with sweet chili sauce, while daughter had hers with honey as she doesn't like hoisin. They were served with strips of cucumber and spring onion and overall it worked quite well. The half duck was expensive but we got five large and three small wraps out of it, so it wasn't too bad.

I played a couple of games of chess. I won the first against what I'd consider to be a weak opponent, then lost to a more realistic match as I ran out of time. Playing under time pressure isn't my strong point and I got distracted a number of times during the game. It was still great to play, though, and I should start doing exercises again as I enjoy them.
