Lemon-Pepper Chili-Lime Wings
Try getting everyone in your family to agree on what movie you’re going to stream and watch. When this frustration wears off, ask them what they want for dinner. If you’re lucky enough to agree on chicken wings, then test your luck by picking a flavor. But all is not lost. These wings are the best of both worlds and combine the citrus bite of lemon-pepper with the savory tang of chili-lime. I’m more of a spicy wing kind of guy, but when it comes to picking movies and wings, compromise is the key. These mild wings are sure to be a family favorite.
Thai Style Mussels and Clams
There’s something about food from this part of the World that appeals to every taste bud on my tongue. I usually lament the fact that I have to book a flight and navigate airport security just to get a decent Po Boy – but at least this travel is in the same hemisphere. I can’t imagine my limited attention span surviving a flight to the other side of the globe. Luckily, there are an increasing number of Laotian, Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Thai restaurants in most North American cities so I don’t have to dust off my passport and shoehorn my ass into the smallest and most uncomfortable seat in the air.
These ingredients are a staple and this simple sauce gets used with shrimp, clams, mussels, all three, poured over rice, tossed with noodles, and even drizzled over roasted or grilled corn on the cob.
Chinese Salt & Pepper Wings
The Salt & Pepper in this recipe does not refer to the two most common spices in every person’s kitchen. Nor does it refer to a hip-hop group from Queens. It’s based on a popular Chinese style of dishes. These wings are a nice change-up from traditional Buffalo-Style. They can be made mild or they can be made hot if you want to push it. Push it good. P-push it real good.
