It’s difficult to understand who the market for this product is—dishes and mugs that the owner will presumably use every single day, with shaming slogans in a bland typewriter font. Their maker is Fishs Eddy, a perfectly reputable purveyor of dishes and glasses and so forth based in New York with a bent for making whimsical and retro tableware—I’ve bought items from them myself. They have a fantastic line of baseball-themed plates, mugs, and glasses as well as this charming skyline-themed stuff. You can see the dinner plate, side plate, bowl, and coffee mug for yourself on this page. Fishs Eddy calls it “intervention-ware”—I’m calling it “shameware.” The side plate says in big type, “Big mistake.” It seems to come from a slightly different set from the others, which all use stronger and smaller type. The plate has four slogans, one of which is “For the love of god stop eating.” And so forth. Since coffee doesn’t really fit into the dieting paradigm, the mug just tells you you’re being obnoxious.

Adapted from the Le Creuset cookbook (pronounced l'uh • cru • say) A few notes: This summer I invested in a good instant-read thermometer: a Thermapen. I can't recommend this tool enough. Duck breasts in particular have been a challenge for me to cook — so many times I've pulled them from the heat, let them rest, only to cut into them to find flesh too rare or way overcooked. What is hard about cooking meat like steaks or duck breast is that when you get that good sear, it's misleading — the meat may feel firm to the touch, but you might only be feeling your nice sear ... what lies beneath is a guess. The Thermapen takes the guesswork out. I do not use the star anise, because the first time I made this, I didn't have any on hand, and I absolutely loved the flavor of the sauce as it was, so I've since omitted it. I imagine a single star anise would impart a very nice, subtle spice to the sauce, so absolutely use it if you have one on hand. Finally, if you have a hard time finding duck, D'artagnan is a great source. I've sampled all of the duck varieties they sell. The Muscovy is the tastiest. It's pricey, but if you think about what it costs to eat duck breast out at a restaurant, it's not so bad.
