Cream Curry.  Combine the Cream Bowl ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed. Stir in salt, tasting as you go, until you are satisfied with the taste.  Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the garlic and sauté until golden (about 3 minutes).  Stir in the turmeric and cook for another minute.  Add the Cream Bowl and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Keep the curry warm while you prepare the duck.

Oriental Duck.  Combine the Seasonings Bowl ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Add the duck breasts and toss with your hands until the breasts are evenly coated.  Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Sauté the breasts, skin side down, for 4 minutes.  Turn the breasts and sauté for another 3 minutes. Remove the breasts to a cutting board and dice into bite-size pieces.  Serve over rice and spoon Cream Curry over all.

Our comments:  Ducks suck … but this doesn’t.  If you want a change, blow off the Cream Curry.  Instead, when you remove the duck from the saute pan,  add 1 Tbsp. honey and 2 Tbsp. soy sauce to the skillet and stir to dislodge the pan drippings.  Pour the honey mixture over the duck and serve.
