blond duck

An attractive, or whimsical yet unexpected rarity/oddity; something that would cause a person, at the sight of it to say, "Wull gee, aint that somethin?" Such as finding a two dollar bill folded into a crane under your seat at a football game, or finding some petrified wood that still looks exactly like a stick, or a two-headed jackal-ope in a taxidermy shop, or a mini-cooper with giant tires and hydraulics.

Well I'll be darned ... aint that a blond duck of all things? A mobile cheese shop that goes around via a cow-shaped blimp... I will indeed be darned.

Get the blond duck mug.

blond roux

Alternatively spelled "rue". A mixture of flour an clarified butter in a saucepan, this is the basis of a very simple form of gravy which would be used to make then other, more complicated sauces with, used often in French cooking, just ask Julia Child. As you continue to cook a white rue it will turn into a blond rue, and then a brown rue, as the starches begin to color from the heat. Something you can mention if you want to sound like you know how to cook, but really can't.

Julia Child: "grubmleburmblblblbumble-and oh it's just lovely-gerrumblebumblegerblegarble-so we'll add a bit of oregano, or as the English would say-blahblahmubmlemubmlebumble- to our blond roux here-crappycantunderstandawordshesayswhyisthisoldhagontvgrumblegrumble."
