Day 87

Posted 6/6/2020

Day EightSeven: I got up sometime around 1am and cleaned the kitchen up... I was determined to cook breakfast in a relativity clean kitchen in the morning. Tried not to make too much noise. Must have worked, everyone was up too early for a weekend once again. Lawson and Heather braved the cold and went for a run before breakfast... which in turn left me time to start breakfast in theory... Now I assumed they were going to be a while so I took my time getting out of bed and into the kitchen. I made it there as they were getting home. Pancakes today... chocolate pancakes with chocolate chips was the boy's request... Heather and I went plain this morning (my special GF Low CARB recipe I posted), damn... I'm stall amazed how good they are... if you weren't told they are fake-cakes... you may never know. Heather figures that's my Super Power... Pancakes. Lawnmower was still on the To-Do-List so we all headed outside to get some work done out there... my out here involved cleaning up the garage and rebuilding the Lawnmower after I shagged it from the rafters. Lawson was set to the task of unknotting the extension core, while Heather had the honour of Mowing the Front Lawn. She cut down all my pretty flowers. She now realizes why I only did the hill with the riding mower, you can barely stand on the hill when it's slightly damp, never mind actually push a lawn mower up and down it... Riding Lawn Mower... on another list for another day. Still cold out, by noon it had warmed up to about 10 deg C... I lit a fire in the shop to warm things up a bit and get rid of some cardboard boxes. Plugged in a few lights and the ceiling fan to blow the warm air back to where people worked... turned the breaker on and we had both light and air movement. Lawson helped put a tree back out side that I've been drying out int he garage, pretty sure it's good to go now, going to cut it up and make something out of it. I found some tools I thought I had lost which was nice... got all the way into where the wood lathe was buried and I'm pondering trying to get that running tomorrow... had to go inside the house, didn't last no where near as long as I would have liked to... best to stop then push it to far and get hurt. We finished the Pizza from the night before for a late lunch. Rest of the day was spent horizontal, I think I caught fibromyalgia, still hurting... Heather made 'Buffalo' Chicken Wings for dinner... it is Pizza and Wings day, so... AND I took a few photos because I'm starting to believe no one up here has actually seen one before. (I will leave them as replies to this post when I'm done)... After dinner everyone kinda stuck there head in an electronic device and wasted the last hour or so before bed. Late lunch = late dinner.

They are not breaded... nothing... nothing was done to them... they just go in the oil and swim around a bit... not the oven... not the BBQ, and not in the Fucking Wok (unless the Wok is Filled with oil bubbling away at about 360 deg).

Celery and Carrots with Blue Cheese Dressing is what goes with them, Heather does make another dip that She like better... I'm still a fan of the Blue Cheese. And let them cook in 360 deg oil... when they look GBD, they are done... not Rocket Science.

If you were wondering, GBD = Golden Brown Delicious... which incidentally looks like this:

Cook the sauce... it's not fucking BBQ Sauce... Not Sweet and Sour... Not Honey Garlic... or ketchup... or even Franks Buffalo sauce from the jar (however that is getting closer) - What is it then? Franks Original Hot Sauce, Butter, Vinegar and Worcestershire sauce... if you want More Hot, adding Tabasco is acceptable.

Then dump that sauce on those wings, toss it about... can't get too much sauce on those... (save the sauce the chicken wings can't soak up, it's good on eggs for breakfast the next day) <<< THIS is what a BUFFALO CHICKEN WING looks like.
