Mixing Ingredients**
The duck, now wearing a crisp white chef’s hat, stands upright at the same wooden table, vigorously whisking a mixture of eggs, flour, and milk in a gleaming metallic bowl. Its right wing grips the whisk, while the left steadies the bowl, splattering droplets of batter onto the table. Props include an open burlap sack of flour, a woven basket of brown eggs, and a glass milk jar. Sunlight warms the scene, illuminating the duck’s focused expression and the garden’s emerald foliage. Wooden cottages peek through the greenery in the background.
