Mango Duck Quesadilla

'Tis the season. The season for DUCK!
Try this on for size! Mango Duck Quesadillas!!

1 duck breast
1/2 cup mango cut up
1 tbsp minced green onion
1 tbsp sliced, seeded jalapeño
4 oz shredded cheddar, pepper jack cheese
6" flour tortillas


Cook the duck breast in a pan skin side down on medium heat. After 8-10 minutes turn and cook for 3-5 more minutes. Remove from the pan and remove the skin from the duck. After this, shred the duck.


Spread the cheese over the tortillas and put the other ingredients on the cheese.
Fold each tortilla in half and press down. Then lightly oil them with... You guessed it. Peanut oil. Now pan grill them for 2-3 minutes. They should be light golden in color.
Cut them in half and serve!!! For added kick squeeze just a little lime over them.


Dang!!! That's good duck!!!

Southern Hook Humor

We in the South have a great sense of humor. We have the innate ability to turn tragedy to comedy. Hence the picture above. Some Southern Hook somewhere saw this no longer moving armadillo ( or 'possum on the half shell) and thought, "why not?" So as only a Southern Hook would do, they added a cup of coke to the deceased and took a this picture thereby turning tragedy to comedy.

It's a gift that we possess. An innate ability all Southern Hooks have. Kind of our own super power. This humor is woven into our daily lives with elegance and flair. If you don't believe me, just have a conversation with any Southern Hook. Our lives are made up of laughter and smiles. And we freely share these with our friends and family, and more often times than not complete strangers.

So as you walk through your day, take the opportunity to share a smile and a laugh with another. Give them a gift that can't be bought. It's what we do. It's part of being a Southern Hook!
