Soupe du canard

by Meg on March 16, 2006

(I hope I got that "du" right—I minored in French and even lived en France for a school year so I should know for sure… But I did get a D+ in French Lit, so you know my grammar suuuuucks! [singsong] Moliere’s tough, Dudes)

That should be “de” or “au”, not “du”. But they’re so cute I don’t care. :)

Awww…. duck butts!!! I love when they get out of the water and waddle and wag their back sides… they are so cute!

…l’orange.
Waak.

All that $$$ we paid for school, and now the D+ comes out?! Oh, well, the time you spent in France was worth it, “de” :-)

5 Theo 03.16.06 at 10:54 pm

Yeep! Was that a bona fide comment?
Just remember, Mom, Pop — she’s found her calling. That’s gotta count.

it is from a frost…
is this site supporting you yet?

8 ariel 03.16.06 at 11:00 pm

i mean financially, not emotionally.

9 Meg 03.16.06 at 11:08 pm

OMG, my parents (The ‘Rents, above) just schooled me in front of thousands of people. I never told them about the D+ in French. Kinda like my sister never told them she got arrested two times in High School. Or was it 3?

10 elena 03.16.06 at 11:08 pm

oh the ducky cuteness. [dies, happily, to later come back to life to feed her cats]

11 Vaguely Urban 03.16.06 at 11:14 pm

We’re so fluffy and wee that we only need two inches of water to get our swim on!

12 Rafael 03.16.06 at 11:22 pm

No soup for youuu!

No really, I can do without these adorable ones outside of my plate!

13 Theo 03.16.06 at 11:26 pm

Meg!
ROTFL!!

14 kochou 03.16.06 at 11:38 pm

16 Linda 03.17.06 at 12:05 am

Way to go Meg – out the sister – always worked for me!

And the ducklets are adorable!

17 Robin 03.17.06 at 12:05 am

Oooooh, Meg loses points for the obvious attempt to distract her parents with worse news about a sibling…..

18 Michelle 03.17.06 at 12:11 am

Siblings sure come in handy when you want to divert attention from your own crimes. I was lucky to have a brother who had a weakness for flammables and explosives, myself.

19 Michelle 03.17.06 at 12:14 am

wth did I just type? (dat don’t make no sense at all!) Whatever. I um, got a D- in grammar. Yeah. But brother burnt down the barn! ::points::

20 Amanda Lou Snow 03.17.06 at 12:18 am

22 mejezabel 03.17.06 at 1:40 am

25 gnatish 03.17.06 at 4:36 am

Ahh sweet duckies. I love duckies. We should have more of them.

26 E. Collison 03.17.06 at 4:56 am

A bit off the subject (cute, that is), but does anyone know what kind of ducks these are?

27 kerry 03.17.06 at 5:51 am

awww there adorable!!!

28 Subhangi 03.17.06 at 6:43 am

Look at ‘em fluffy lil’ quackers! Awwwww!

29 Liza B. Jolly 03.17.06 at 12:14 pm

“canard à l’orange”, I think

but I don’t think it is possible to make a “soup of duck”, as you say…

=P

30 ptinfrance 03.17.06 at 12:45 pm

i would say soupe au canard but it’s all good…and cute!

31 Snoo 03.17.06 at 1:04 pm

they are just beautiful.

32 christina 03.17.06 at 1:42 pm

awwww… there’s a place (like a farmer’s market) near my house that sells baby ducks for $5 each. I don’t know what to think about that. But I’d *so* buy one if I had the time and space to take care of one. :)

33 Theo 03.17.06 at 3:34 pm

Nobody’s going to make a Marx Brothers reference? :(

34 Cam 03.17.06 at 3:47 pm

Moliere isn’t that hard.
Try reading L’Avare for a laugh.

If anybody’s interested I turned this into an icon.

my ducks flew away. they were malards. and they were fantasticly adorable!

37 Michele 03.17.06 at 6:45 pm

awwwww! I could spend all day holding a bebe duckulence all day. And pet him. If there was a job out there that you could hold a baby duck all day and pet him, even if it was like $2 an hour with no breaks or benefits, I would do it

38 birdfarm 03.17.06 at 8:41 pm

I think it would be “soupe aux canards,” non?

Now I know why I wish I had siblings.

39 cara 03.18.06 at 12:14 am

DUCK SOUP! best. marx brothers. film. ever.

ever.

and ducks = cute.

40 Theo 03.18.06 at 4:51 am

(Cara — oh good. Much better.)

41 mj 03.18.06 at 9:44 pm

Yup, it’s actually “Soupe au Canard.” But I prefer the Marx Brothers’ version!

42 Inca 03.19.06 at 2:30 am

Every spring, when the ducklings come out, I go through a vegetarian phase for a little while…they’re so precious.

43 luch 04.28.06 at 4:37 pm

these look like the tiny baby duckling we rescued the other day! it lived and is now set free with a family! yay!
