Duck for Dinner!

Karla, the lady I get our eggs from, gave me a couple boneless, skinless duck breasts that she raised herself. Here's a picture of about 1/2 of one breast that I grilled. This was leftovers, I forgot to get a picture of it on the first night I served it, so it's not a beautiful presentation, and it's missing the grilled asparagus on the plate. The pasta is Jessica's Northern Italian family Alfredo recipe (with the addition of shitakes) - delicious! I am posting this because it is my first time cooking duck, and because we were amazed, especially Frank, at how much the look, texture and taste was like a fine steak. Doesn't it look like red meat to you? It did to us. We absolutely loved it and now Frank is considering becoming a hunter to bring home some more duck! (I am NOT kidding).
