Christmas 2017

Been awhile since I have even looked at blog...merry Christmas

Got my butterfly garden started.. Had to move the pavers away from the pool cage, dig in some soil and peat moss.. Hope everything grows!

Spring clean up time begins... Feb 2015

Got this spot cleaned up a little... 

In desparate need some updating to this landscape 

 Nice sunny spot for a future butterfly garden.... if I can rid it of  those nasty biting ants under a couple of those pavers..

Spring is coming.. 

Guess I will be attempting to grow these seeds I picked up the other day...  I have an ugly galvanized fence around my back yard here.. It was a necessity because of all the trespassing kids in this neighborhood.. Protects our dogs but we still don't have much privacy because now they cut through the neighbor's yard on the other side and through our front yard and walk past our picture window.. Heathens..    So, I will try to plants some tall growing plants and vines and I won't have to see them walking behind the fence.... 

Crispy Baked Chicken Wings 

2 lbs chicken wing pieces              

salt or seasoned salt

3 tbsp Honey

2 tbsp butter

dash of soy sauce

dash of garlic powder

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.. add a couple tsp of salt.. I like seasoned salt instead of table salt 

Boil the wings for 7-8 minutes. Dry well with paper towels

Place the chicken wings on a wire rack in roasting pan. 

Bake for 20- 25 minutes on one side,  flip and bake for for 5 more minutes.  

Remove and turn off oven.. 

Heat honey, butter, soy sauce and garlic powder until mixed. 

Toss the wings in the sauce and return to the turned off but still warm oven for a few more minutes before serving..  YUMMY!
