Hello Friends of Eat a Duck I Must! You may have noticed that we’ve been rather quiet in our little corner of the interwebs. If you’re actually reading this, then we’re just amazed that you’ve made it back here! It’s been a little busy here, to say the very least. While we kept this piece [...]

DIY Crafts: Pillow Mattress

eataduckimust — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:31:26 +0000

So I (Alice, that is) have sort of been consumed by pinterest as of late. I don’t pin as much as I just reap in some massive crafting inspiration. One of the first things I found was this pillow mattress reimagined by Kendra of Southern Disposition. Her ingenius shortcut using an Ikea duvet cover made [...]

Inspired by Eleven Madison Park – Beef Tenderloin, Carrots, Peas and Potato

Some days you come home from work tired from the commute, and the last thing you want to think about is what to make for dinner. The frozen box in the freezer with a shaped patty that is called “steak” never looked so good. The ultimate salisbury “steak” is where Jared got his inspiration this [...]

Not Food Related: Up Movie Balloon Frames

Once in a long while, I’ll have a semi-original craft idea. I’ve been staring at this adorable DIY paint chip project and have been looking for a way to recreate it for the kiddies in my life. So when I was walking through Michael’s and saw this cute balloon shaped hole punch, the rusty DIY wheels began to [...]

Eleven Madison Park Cookbook: Our New Obsession

eataduckimust — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:08:07 +0000

Not long ago, we received a copy of the Eleven Madison Park cookbook in the mail and we haven’t quite put it down since. Every single page is pristine, the design is clean and the book is filled with simple yet elegant food photography. We quickly joked that if we (Jared, I mean) were to [...]

A Mies Van Der Rohe-nian Birthday

eataduckimust — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 02:13:42 +0000

This past weekend we celebrated Mr. Eat a Duck I Must’s birthday in parts. On Friday, after his extremely-classy-blind-Popeye’s-VS-Harold’s-fried-chicken-challenge dinner, I presented him with his first gift- the Farnsworth House from the Lego Architecture series. We had watched a documentary on the Farnsworth House earlier this year and were immediately fascinated by it. We are far [...]

Fall Menu 2011

When Dan isn’t teaching us something about photography, Jared is teaching Dan something about cooking… and I just eat. What happens when the stars align and the rare of occurrence of special visitors combined with moments of culinary inspiration come to transpire? Why, Jared’s fall menu, of course! We were so excited to host our [...]

ZSPLIT: SoCal & Tokyo

eataduckimust — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:59:17 +0000

A few days after we arrived in LA, Jared and I had an enormous fight and decided to spend the rest of our “business” trip separately. KIDDING! Actually, Jared was joining up with our friend Dan Chen (Chennergy.com) in Tokyo to help photograph a couple weddings. Even though I desperately wanted to go as well, [...]

ZSPLIT: SoCal – eataduckimust meets rasamalaysia!

eataduckimust — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 02:12:15 +0000

Several weeks ago, Jared and I (and Baby Duck, too!) went on a business trip of sorts. And as you know I like to name all of our vacations, we’ll call this ZSPLIT as we ended up parting a few days into our trip. So our little family of three hopped on a flight to [...]
