I recall when our daughter had all four wisdom teeth extracted when we were in PA it cost us thousands. My son had two done here and it was $400 I think. I think I like living down here in redneckville where the prices aren’t so ridic

The buffalo chicken sounds great - I always melt butter and add to the bottled wing sauce before pouring onto wings so I can see where that would be good. And the addition of ranch dressing is great - I use it in my buffalo dip too! Thanks for the recipe - now I have to go read the other one

it was good. xsboy liked the chicken, but isn’t a fan of mushrooms and onions so he didn’t care for all of that stuff in there, but it makes a wonderful broth/gravy. i served it over mashed potatoes but i saw just french bread or egg noodles mentioned as accompaniments as well.
