Tonight was a belated wing night. So to make up for the lateness, we decided to make two different types of wings! Both were wildly different, and both delicious.
For the first, we made Paprika Wings. A nice and smoky spice rub with paprika, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar. A great choice if you like a sweet and spicy combination. This wasn’t Chris’ favorite, but I really enjoyed them… especially in combination with our other choice of wings.
For our second recipe, we made “Super Simple Fan Feeders”. Sweet and sour, a little sticky, nice and crunchy. These wings marinated in lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, garlic powder and onion powder. They were supposed to be grilled, which I do think would have added quite a bit to the wing flavor. We cooked them on a roasting pan, which did give them a nice, crunchy texture.
These two were great together. The dry rub wing juxtaposed nicely with the sticky sweetness of the other. Add a few crunchy veggies on the side, and you have a very tasty meal!

Some times it is the simplest meals that are the most satisfying.
Today, it was fresh bread and cheese that made for the perfect lunch.
I gently toasted two small slices of the baguette I made on Sunday, and added a little boursin onto the top.
A slice of tomato on the side. Perfection on a plate.
It reminded me of going on travels. Picnics in the park with fresh bread and cheese. All that could have made it better would be a glass of wine. It would have transported me to Paris in an instant!
