This is a tried and true recipe. It's DH's favorite meal in all the world!

Deep Fried Chicken Wings

1 large pkg chicken wings
1 C buttermilk
1 C Louisiana Hot Sauce (this does NOT make it spicy, only flavoured)
Flour for dredging
Whatever combination of seasonings you like (I use S & P, a bit of Old Bay, and a few scrapes of a nutmeg)
Oil for deep frying

Combine buttermilk and the hot sauce in a large bowl and dip wings in sauce.

Combine flour and seasonings and dredge dipped wings till well coated. Carefully place in hot deep fryer and cook until they are a deep golden brown, turning occasionally, for approx. 10 minutes. Drain on paper towel and thoroughly enjoy!

Note: Honestly, these wings are not spicy hot at all. I was very surprised but delighted. They are absolutely the best wings IÂve ever made. The recipe originated from Paula Deen, except hers uses eggs instead of buttermilk. It is also delicious, but if you have leftovers, the egg-coating doesnÂt translate well the next day. The buttermilk idea came from Tyler Florence.

over aggressive reseeders that you left behind

The garden club is usually happy to have reseeding. You would n't believe the beautiful alyssum we have hanging a foot or more over the edge of some planters. And we don't have to buy as many flowers so we love that and just move the seedlings around. The one plant that came back with a vengeance after we didn't want it was Bells of Ireland. Although they are lovely close up, they just didn't look right in our design. However we got seedlings for a decade! The ones at my house never came back :(. We also got a lawn in one of the perennial beds from a perennial grass. Annuals don't reseed at my house, but I wish someone had warned me about certain perennials: pulmonaria (lungwort) which is now everywhere. Also that pretty weedy campanula. I don't know how it got in the garden, but the roots are 2 feet down and enormous! Thank goodness for roundup. And an anenome that is native here and just lovely - white flowers nodding in the breeze and pretty foliage for the first 4 or 5 years then suddenly it is everywhere with a thick network of hairy roots, and it doesn't look nice when it goes by either. For shrubs, certain spireas seed everywhere. My primula vera self seed, but i like that. Kathy

Good question. I am trying to make it comfortable by incorprating more traditional pieces with some modern peices. The sectional is chunky with clean, modern lines. The coffee table is a reclaimed factory cart sort of like this, but it was a flea market find. Today I was out looking at grasscloth, and I learned that I love the expensive stuff. (ha. shocker!) I am thinking it will warm up the space and not be as in-your-face traditional as the Schumacher wallpaper. I wish I had a good answer for you. If I could live anywhere, it would feel like this lobby, this lobby, or this whole hotel. (Can you tell I have love for a certain hotel chain?) rgustafs

Help me choose a clematis (or two or three!) for bright shade!

For privacy I think that the lattice suggestion is better than just a vine. Though Betty Corning covers the end of my deck which is ten feet wide it takes awhile to get to that growth and dies back at the end of fall. I like BC as it also has almost continuous bloom starting midsummer. Some people detect a faint aroma on their plants though I do not on mine. July 2016 BC in part shade--looks more impressive in real life. Two or three other less vigorous clematis also could like nice. These grow on one section of the 25' length of my deck. Hagley grows well on my north facing wall which is bright shade.

Beer fried chicken
This makes for a crispy batter
1 chicken, cut up~ you only get crispy if you leave the skin on, or buy one cut up.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 can beer(not lite, does not have the amount of hops or yeast)
Cut up chicken and dip in beer.

Put flour and cornmeal into a brown paper bag, adding seasonings to taste(salt and pepper, I do a pretty fair amount salt about tablespoon salt or tad more, and whatever on the pepper, you can add other seasoning you like as well)

Put chicken pieces in bag one at a time and shake. Fry in crisco (not oil) in a hot cast iron skillet. Or what ever pan you have. if using electric frying pan deep fryer, 325Â°
