cookin in the 509

Tonight, as I spiked the cider, baked a pizza, and watched the first snow fall, I thought about food and community. I realized the people we love are no longer a knock away. We moved to the mountains up north, we don't write letters, and we don't call much. So, you extraordinary food-makers, let’s talk through food. Tell me what you are cooking, buying at the grocery outlet, and selling on the streets. Why is today the day for buffalo wings and bloody marys? Food, photos, and blogging?

NFL sunday, always an absurd day.

Big day. Never easy to make homemade hot wings. Always makes me appreciate the glory of buffalo wings past. Today, my friends, we had a hot wing breakthrough. Far cry from baked kale chips but... these wings are damn good.

1. Coat wings in 3/4 C flour, 1/2 cayenne, 1/2 salt, 1/2 garlic. Let sit on baking tray for an hour.

2. Melt 1/4 C butter (dairy free for this house) with 1/2 C hot wing sauce

3. Roll each of those wings around in hot sauce/butter melt

4. Bake wings at 400 degrees for 20 minutes on each side. Take out of the oven when the wings are all sorts of crispy.

Also, we went scouting for our upcoming turkey hunt today. Vivi ripped the hunting vest in half and seemed, well, humiliated. The good news is that no one shot her.

As a side - the best hot wings ever to grace my pallet came from rochester, new york. Apparently, those upstate new yorkers are devoted to the craft of hot wing deliciousness. We are just riding on their coat tails out here in the west...
