Wild Wings

The weather around here is starting to get steamy. Time for a trip down to Buffalo Wild Wings on Skibo for a basket of "Wild" wings and about three tall cold ones. See ya' there.

Wow, that sounds great. Have a great time Pete!

I've never been to this restaurant. Next time I'm in Fredericksburg or Richmond I'll have to check it out.

That does sound good. I live in a dry county so there won't be any barley pop though. I think Arkansas is where they cinch up the bible belt.

Killians was on special tonight. We just about have the bar maids trained. They see our crowd come in the door and they're pouring big glasses of "The Special" as we're walking to the table. Sit down, hold your hand out and a frosty glass of brew slips into it. A long pull from the glass and its time to order Hot wings.

Never did like GO # 1 and that suckers been around for years.

I stopped by the supermarket, picked up a box of frozen TGIF Hot Wings, popped them in the oven when I got home, and got a Newcastles from the 'fridge. Plopped my butt on the couch to wait for the wings to finish. Wife came in from the gym and turned on the TV. "Days of Our Lives". Retreated to a kitchen barstool and ate the wings. Cleaned golf clubs then got out the spinning reels for same.

Some how I don't think my evening was as enjoyable as yours

Oh, Lord.

Another Tuesday night at Wing Wings and all I can say is what has become of America's Finest?

I'm sitting at a table with my usual crowd and we look around. A number of tables are filled with 2-3 male GIs, all having a good time.

As the time passes I notice a group of fine young ladies enter, 5 in all. By their look and actions, young she-male GIs all. Some order beer, the others softer stuff. They come to the pool table and play a few rounds. I look around and none of the guys throw up some quarters to challenge the table. None move to the pool table. In fact the guys just sit and talk with each. After a while the she-males return to their table to continue eating and drinking. Still no action from the guys. Oh, well.

This is after the post about a soldier's first pass. He's on the internet while his girl taps her foot. Man, have times changed.

I'm guessing that like you, the boys also noticed that the ladies were more than likely GIs, and decided the potential for very unfavorable administrative action far outweighed the potential to build constructive rapport.

Young soldiers of today, including 18Xs, should use every chance they get to work on building "Constuctive Rapport". You never know when you'll need a contact up at the MP headshed, a motor pool that has the part you need, Finance, or any other place that the female soldier of todays Army works.

When the system erects a brick wall it's nice to pick up the phone and say "Hey Monica, I need a favor. Can you.....?"

The young soldier of today should use every off duty chance they get to hone thier skills.

And by the way, the floor maids seem to have a better time around our table, what gives?

While we're talking about wings....

I have a recipe for hot wings that isn't exactly traditional (in the sense that you cook your wings, dip 'em in sauce, all that), but I like quite a bit. Simple, too, and a good change of pace if you like hot wings.

Take a big sealable container, tupperware or the like. Buy a bunch of wings (I prefer whole wings to drumettes), a big can of whole jalapenos from the bulk food aisle, and a couple bottles of your favorite hot sauce (I prefer Tapatio, my favorite cheap hot sauce). Put the wings in the container, pour in the whole can of jalapenos, juice and all. Toss in the Tapatio, mix it up, let it marinate for as long as you can stand (I seem to have an asbestos tongue, so I let it go for days). Fish your wings out, toss 'em on the grill, and drizzle some of the jalapeno juice/hot sauce on them as they cook. When they just start to blacken they're done.

Don't forget to toss some of the whole jalapenos on the grill for a kicker. If you've done it right, the jalapenos are cooler in the mouth than the wings.
