Humanity began when we learned to BBQ.

and ended

I am talking about the millions of years being bunk, not about cooking. Figured you’d know that.

[Soliton]

And I thought this thread was going to be about Martha Stewart or Julia Child. :)

Martha Stewart is Julia's child!

[Hoplite]

confident that it will go no farther because of my stance on ID and the Shroud of Turin.

Yer not allowed to expect the Buffalo Wing Inquisition, surprise being one of their chief weapons and all.

Soliton’s inclusion of Southern Comfort (80 or 100 proof?) in the recipe is a professional touch. Does his process evaporate the alcohol, or does it remain?

I don't know. Good brisket takes a long time.

And further, man did not eat animals until after the flood. God showed Adam how to make a burnt offering, but they didn’t eat the offering. We know that mankind was to eat the seed-bearing plants of the garden. After the fall of man, God told Adam now he’d have to work hard to grow crops to eat. We further know that mankind was able to eat animals after the flood when God told Noah that now everything that lived on the earth would be meat (in addition to the plants they always could eat).

[Soliton]

80 proof reduced by half. Persimmon jelly too.

[1rudeboy]

Reduced meaning diluted? Or after the process of reduction?

Silly question, but I have to ask.

[Soliton]

Simmer until volume reduced by half to thicken. Hey! are you the competition?

[1rudeboy]

I was wondering when Soliton would ask . . . LOL, no.

[Soliton]

Submissions closed yesterday at noon.

I live in Chicago, where Buffalo wing sauces are prepared by buffoons. (I’m sure there are some good ones out there, but I haven’t come-across any).

Standing on an id sounds uncomfortable. I prefer to stand on my ego. : - )

Best wishes on the wings. Do those ancestors proud!

[Soliton]

My family is grown, but we take a trip together every year. If we travel on Saturday, I have to make sure that our hotel or campground is near a Catholic church for my wife and the best wings in the area for all of us for Sunday.

I went to middle and high school in Chicago. I played hockey for Hinsdale Central. I have had upside down marguritas on Rush street, but never any wings there.

[Soliton]

Are you wearing a Freudian slip?

[Soliton]

I thought about it and I was there on business a few years ago and we had some good wings at the Cubby Bear ( not the one at Wrigley field

[1rudeboy]

I didn't swim, because I didn't feel like Hinsdale Central kicking my ass. So I played water polo instead.

Buffalo wings (and I am certainly not an expert about them) in Chicago are invariably overcooked, and prepared by someone who thinks "good" and "hot" are synonymous.

[aposiopetic]

Id on't know, but can you imagine how many pages Sigmund would have written just on some hypothetical hidden meaning of Buffalo wings?

[Heartlander]

We started innovating. We tried different materials. We started creating art and maybe even religion.

Interesting… The theory of gravitation doesn’t deal with ‘stories’ about ‘religion and art’ but we always read that evolution and the theory of gravitation should be taught side by side as factual based science. It seems to me that there are actual differences between these two theories when one theory does discuss the actual formation of ‘religion and art’ as related to another ultimately mindless adaptation in the animal world.

BTW, I have won many local chili cook offs and even placed regionally (St. George Island, Fl) and it has always been a lot of fun. Good luck with the Buffalo wing sauce you created.
