Hi HB
ReplyDeleteI have also noticed my men consuming tons of salty foods on sports Sundays. Chips, pretzels, nuts, crackers, jerky and so on. Not to mention Chinese take-out. I worry about that. But staying hydrated is very important to flush salt and other garbage out of their systems.
The recipe looks good. I may tell my daughter-in-law to make up a big mess of wings. Better that they have a lot of home made snacks on hand.
Love and hugs Butterfly
My Lady,
ReplyDeleteThis is our favorite day of the week , we get away with eating and drinking to much without being fussed at .
Yes , water is most important , I think that is the only time we drink a lot off beer to help flush the kidneys .
Tell your daughter-in-law not to forget the ribs , they are included in the recipe .
The recipe calls for 24 wings ans 3 pounds of ribs , we cook more because so many people drop in .
Nee told me your son stopped by to see you . That's so great my lady . Great things are happening for your dear grandson , Nee said he was in film school in Toronto , it would be nice if he had videos and you could ask him to let you post some .
As I always told you , to reach out and you did and I do so think you reaching out to your boys father is why this is falling in place .
Stay tuned to your inter emotions and things will work , is it not so ?
Hugs and love HB
