FOOTBALL and TAILGATE PARTY'S

 

This month let get ready for FOOTBALL and TAILGATE PARTY'S

Let start with our loving  Monday night couch potato or Monday morning quarterback,
Chicken Wings are there number one go to food.

Chicken Wings and health
No doubt about it, if you are going to enjoy true Buffalo-style wings in all their glory, you will be eating the skin. The skin is indeed the fatty part, comprised of 17% fat, yet it also lends the most flavors along with the sauce of choice.

If the oil is hot enough when you fry the wings, much of the fat will cook off into the frying oil while sealing in the juice of the meat, leaving a nice crispy skin.

Baking is also an alternative. Bake until crispy on a rack inside a baking pan to catch the drips, and then dip into hot sauce mixture.

If you are watching your fat intake and must avoid the skin, some markets carry skinless drummettes, both fresh and frozen. Try baking them and dredging in a hot sauce, but you'll also want to forego the traditional butter that is mixed in with the hot sauce.

Labor Day is not just a fun day to enjoy relaxing activities with your family and friends and it is not the last big barbecue day of the summer, more importantly it is a time to recognize the contributors America’s working men and women, as well as the achievements of the organized labor movement. My Mother and Father told use that back in the day where they lived, the community usually host a big weekend celebration at the park that actually starts on Thursday with activities for the entire family. This includes a live DJ and a dance and talent contest for the youth, a spectacular gospel fest with special guests on Sunday afternoon, and a huge parade with marching bands and colorful floats on Monday. They would really go all out for their Labor Day weekend. Today I spend Labor Day barbecuing in the backyard where there’s lots of good food, fun, family and friends and we celebrations morning ‘til night. . This holiday is the biggest summer event of the year and it seems to get bigger and better each year.
