Just Another Rainy Day In Maryland ... Recipe!

UGGGGGGHHHHH! I am so much a sunshine person! I need warmth, rays, gleem, glow, golden. I made it through the snow storms, the ice, the sludge, the crud, the sprays, the gluck. Said not too many negatives.

I read books, made cards, drove to work, reorganized, created posts, made friends, kept up with friends and family, visited people. My son got married, we had the holidays.

But ok... now it's the end of April and I'm cold, it's gray, it's yucky and raining and I really would like warmth other than my husband and a comforter and two dogs and a cat in my bed!

I looked at Country Living, Victoria, Country Home, Glamour, Good Houskeeping,

Veranda, Coastal Living, I cruised the net, made new friends on blogs, ventured to new towns, even other states!

I planned my garden, bought fresh flowers, gave fresh flowers!
But it's all over for me now.......so..............

I'll Cook!

Hope you enjoy this recipe for a rainy day! Hugs, Jenn

The ingredients for this recipe are:

1/3 cup of soy sauce

2 garlic cloves, minced

18 chicken wings

In a crockpot we're going to add the wings the garlic the onions the ginger the honey the soy sauce and two teaspoons of oil. We'll go ahead mix the wings up with the other ingredients to make sure the garlic and onions cover all the wings adequately.

Cook 6-8 Hours

We'll cover the crock pot and turn it on low for six to eight hours. After about six hours the wings are done. And you can see the wings have soaked up all the flavors, they've turned a nice golden brown and they're ready to eat.  Cliff Wildman  About.com Food

Irish Breakfast
A very rich tasting tea is usually a blend of Assam and Ceylon black tea varieties. It brews a dark-reddish cup and gives off a medium aroma. It has a brisk malty taste with slightly bitter undertones.


English Breakfast
Worth the brewing! English Breakfast is a strong smoky beverage that will definitely wake your taste buds up! Made from Keenum Chinese black tea, this tea has a bite.
Perfect for folks who want a breakfast tea.


Earl Grey Tea
Named after the early 19th century Prime Minister, Charles Grey. This tea is infused with the oil of the bergamot orange. It produces a cup of tea with a bitter-citrus yet sweet taste that is enjoyed in both England and America. In fact, Earl Grey is one of the most common types of tea in both countries!


Sencha Green Tea
A famous Japanese variety of green tea. The leaves, although small, steep a full flavored brew. The taste is a somewhat vegetal in flavor. To newcomers this may sound like a turn-off, but for seasoned green tea drinkers it is a real treat.
Dragon Well Green Tea
This is another famous green tea, grown in China. Referred to as the Chinese version of Sencha. The broad flat leaves make a great tasting cup that is less grassy than Sencha. There is also a more medium-bodied flavor that is perfect for folks introducing themselves to green tea.


Silver Needle White Tea
This is one of my favorite types of white tea. This tea is perhaps the purest and most powerful of ALL types of tea. It's sweet, subtle and perfect for everyday!
The leaves are plucked before they open and have fuzzy silver-like hairs covering them which give them a whitish-silvery appearance.


Wu-yi Oolong Tea
"Wu-yi" oolong is becoming quite a popular variety as of late. Grown in the rocky Wuyi mountains of China. This tea has large leaves that make a fruity, nutty, and rich tasting cup. A perfect tea for newcomers who want to try the oolong type of tea. This tea is also known to help folks loss weight naturally and effectively! Provided they include proper exercise and healthy eating habits!
