Magazine Mondays: Where in the World Have I Been?

chickenwing1.jpg

My goodness I don’t even know how long it’s been since I’ve updated my blog! Two weeks? A year? I no longer remember.

I’ve been a busy bee thanks to a work project and some other events. However, I could no longer bear to hear my blog weeping in the corner as the days of neglect stretched into weeks. I’m back for a very quick Magazine Mondays post that perfectly captures my eating habits of late: lots of fat, lots of carbs and almost no fruits or vegetables (long workdays and even longer work nights do not make for healthy eating …).

Having said that, if I have to indulge once and awhile, I’m happy to do so with these ridiculously good chicken wings. I made them for a family dinner we had that happened to fall on Super Bowl Sunday. While lugging out the deep fryer wasn’t exactly the most enjoyable exercise (nor was cleaning it afterwards although the credit for that goes to Mamma Cream Puff), I have to say these were ridiculously good and worth every calorie and gram of fat.

Just try them. They’re worth it.

Here are some folks who have joined me in the ongoing and epic battle to control that stack of food magazines we all have:

Dawn of Doable and Delicious made Turkish Coffee Pudding from Bon Appétit and Gnocchi with Tomato, Onion and Pancetta from Gourmet.

Tina of Life in the Slow Lane at Squirrel Head Manor made Creamy Parmesan Polenta from Cook’s Illustrated.

Margaret of Tea and Scones made Crawfish and Chicken Étouffée from the Food Network magazine.

The Food Hunter made Veal Stew with Vegetables from La Cucina Italiana.

Wizzy of Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Punch made Cornmeal Rosemary Cake with Pine Nuts and Orange Glaze from The Best of Fine Cooking (Fall 2007).

Have a great week everyone!

Ciao!

This recipe is from Sunny Anderson of The Food Network. I saw a program where she prepared chicken wings three separate ways. I made the wings with the Spicy Butter Sauce. Delicious!

Hang in there with the busyness, dear Ivonne!

My absolute favorite way to eat something not terribly healthy. Oh do they look grand dripping with sauce. Life sometimes throws an incredible amount of busyness, doesn’t it?

Thanks for including me in your Monday magazine line up. I’ve never attempted wings like these before do they have to be done in a deep fryer?

Ivonne - I don’t know what it is, but in Internet Explorer..I can’t submit my comments to you. I specifically have to use Firefox to leave you a comment! So weird! lol

That being said, those wings look incredible!! In fact..I don’t think I’ve ever seen such beautiful wings! Your photos really rock..I mean..they are spectacular! Now I’ll have to make these! I’m thinking the honey BBQ :)

O we all have those moments where life is just too hectic and good food seems to be the furthest from our minds! But your chicken wings sure look beautiful and delicious!

Yum! Talk about comfort food - perfect for when you are too busy to think about being healthy. These look messy and crisy and saucy and wonderful.

They look like a perfect comfort food.
I really do mean to come back to Magazine Mondays, it’s a lack or organisation not a lack of interest. Really. Now I’ve set a goal to have something for up for next week :)

YUMMY!! There is nothing better than wings!! :)

These are making me very hungry right now. There is something about chicken wings that make my mouth water. Cool stuff.
