So...
Duo December will be:
Pick a protein to be prepared two ways. You must start with the exact same ingredient, do not buy two different ones. For example don't choose beef, and buy a steak and ground beef. If you want to do a steak and a burger buy two steaks and grind the meat of one... get it? Buy any protein to start with, enough to section into two, or buy two. Then, prepare two different ways, on a plate. You may choose to do a side dish, but only one, that must go with both preparations. Do not add extra sides this is all about harmony. The Duo must go together, as well as the side, for each. It's one meal not two.
Does this satisfy everyone?
I can see questions like, if you buy a whole chicken, can you use breast for one legs for the other. Let's try to stick to the exact cuts. If you buy a whole chicken you can use half one way and half another, or the breasts one way and another... okay? So no leftover mis-matched cuts. This is a challenge. Start with the same exact ingredient for both.
