The sacrifice to the culinary gods was successful. The chicken was moist and flavorful (especially the breast) -- I'll have to remember to butter my chickens again. The duck was really, really good and a wonderful treat for high table. The King even made a special trip past where I was sitting during the dancing to tell me he enjoyed it and to wish me a good night.

The finger still hurts. I changed the bandaids yesterday morning after showering (in case they got wet) and the tip broke open a little. I bought a finger splint to protect it and am really glad I did. I didn't have to worry about people grabbing at it this way and I still bumped it way too much. Grrr.
